wrong location

Please help with this.

When I work between my devices, and when provided a code, my location is miles away.

When I search a website, like Best Buy, it shows my location miles away too.

Can anyone shed light on this?

See the following from Two-factor authentication for Apple ID - Apple Support

(and ignore the statement about "new devices" -- happens to existing devices too)

What if I don’t recognize the location shown in my sign in notification?

When you sign in on a new device, you’ll get a notification on your other trusted devices that includes a map showing the approximate location of the new device. This is an approximate location based on the IP address the device is currently using, rather than the exact location of the device. The location shown might reflect the network you're connected to, and not your physical location.

If you know you’re the person trying to sign in but you don’t recognize the location shown, you can still tap Allow and continue signing in.

However, if you ever see a notification that your Apple ID is being used to sign in on a new device and you're not the one signing in, tap Don’t Allow to ensure the sign in attempt is blocked.

makes sense

But how can that be changed to Best Buy, Home Depot etc know where I am ?

There may be a way but I don't know what it would be. There is some more information in About Location Services in OS X and Safari - Apple Support
