I have turned on location in settings, but google maps in browser doesn't find my location so are the other apps. It's kind of touch and go situation, sometimes it works well and sometimes it doesn't. At times it shows my location 5km apart.

Do you have mobile data turned on, and has location been on constantly since you last had a position? Both will affect it.
In my case I rarely have mobile data on and the phone is not constantly on. I find it can take quite a while to get a fix when I go outside. 15 minutes us typical and half an hour not unusual - perhaps depending on when and where I last used it. My routine now is to run the 'GPSinfo' app as soon as I switch the phone on. Once I get a fix it holds it well and is pretty accurate.
I've never used location in the browser though - only in maps (maep).
A location 5km wrong suggests to me that it's not a gps fix but an estimate based on your mobile connection or nearby wifi APs.
yeah thats what it sometimes show tower as my location. might be asoftware bug mostly.
