Get my geolocation
Hello everyone, I have already tried many DIFFERENT ways to find out my coordinates. I used python modules and 2ip type sites, many different sites. All of the above gives me these coordinates(55.7522 37.6156). I tested all this from different devices, which have a different provider. From this (55.7522 37.6156) place I am very far away, but I am in Moscow(at least I identified something correctly).
Code examples
import geocoder
g = geocoder.ip('me')
print(g.latlng)
curl ipinfo.io/loc
I also went to the 2ip website, found out your ipv4, went to the following sites: ipinfo.io, 2ip.ru/geoip, iplocation.net/; I drove my ipv4 there(on the sites), and got the same result. Does anyone know how to identify the true location? It is advisable to use python. If you know a way without using python, write, I would be very grateful. Please help me. Thank you

Pass the mac addresses of neighboring wifi access points to the geocoder. The accuracy of detection in Moscow will improve to 50 meters
That's what I did in the router. There's no python, just cgi..
Collect wifi signal levels
iwlist wlan0 scan | awk '/Address/ {print $5} /Signal\ level/{split($3,a,"="); print a[2]}' > levels.list
I generate xml. This will be much easier on python
xml=<ya_lbs_request><common><version>1.0</version>
<api_key>Ваш ключ</api_key>
</common><wifi_networks>
<?$i=0; $levels = fopen("/tmp/levels.list", "r") >
<? while(!feof($levels)) >
<? $i++; $mac = fgets($levels,255); $level = fgets($levels,255) >
<network><mac><? echo $mac></mac><signal_strength><? echo $level></signal_strength><age><? echo $i*10+1000 ></age></network>
<? endwhile >
</wifi_networks></ya_lbs_request>
And I send it to Yandex. On python via requests, just send a post
cgi -q /usr/www/lib/ya.xml.cgi | curl -d @- -X POST http://api.lbs.yandex.net/geolocation > $LOC
In response, I get the coordinates
