Are you sure it's Google's data which is at fault? ip2location.com
puts you in Morristown NJ (assuming you posted from one of the static
addresses); is that right? If it isn't then it's your ISP which needs
to update the data it releases. It may have a policy of not locating
static IP addresses very well.

Unfortunately I've no idea where Google gets its data from; but it's
the data provider who needs to get it right.

Have you tried using a proxy for testing? That might produce different
results, although any well-written app will ignore the proxy IP
address and use the forwarded one. A badly-behaved proxy which doesn't
add an X-Forwarded-For header is probably needed. Or simply put your
app on an server somewhere and access it from somewhere else. You
don't need to make the URL available if all you're doing is testing
it.
