During your device activation, if your device GPS has no valid location then your location (Latitude, Longitude) would be (0,0), which is a real location near the West Coast of Africa. Once you start moving with your device, and it gets a valid GPS location (fix), then the device location will be updated with the correct values. You also need to give permission to the application to use your device GPS. Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
