Whitey in the WebmasterWorld forums posted something new he is seeing. He said:
Google has put stronger "auto detect" user location search preferences onto it's filters on the left hand panel. You can adjust this to your desired location, although i haven't tested this yet.Here is Australia it's down to State level for the first time , used to be at country level. Is anyone else seeing this in other regions on the default display ?
I asked Whitey to send me a picture and he did! I've never seen auto-detection or Google asking for your location in the left hand bar. Here is his picture:

Exactly what I see too, up here at google.ca. Same screen, same Auto-Detect button, but I see it right down to my city level....gotta look at this somemore, eh! :-) Jim

I see it down to a city level in beautiful Ohio. Fairly accurate, too

It's visible (down to city level) here in Sweden too (google.se). At least for some of us. :)

It´s annoying and it gets on my nerves that Google is more interested in invading my privacy to be able to sell me more stuff, than the information privilige I´m entitled to. I´m in an office using the same IP as 5 other people (I´m in an Argentine office working with Brazilians, English, Chinese and USA people). Each of them, when they put www.google.COM in the web browser, gets redirected to GOOGLE BRAZIL! WE....DON´T....WANT....THIS!

my google auto-detect locator seems to reflect a nearby intruder!
