Edit: Was informed my GPS does not actually think I am far away, something else is causing that.
(See edit above) Ive heard it’s GPS, but my phone always thinks I am in a city hundreds of miles away for some reason so just wondering more specifically how that would work?

Your cell phone can only reach your nearest cell tower. 911 always connects you to the nearest emergency services from your cell tower.
Once you establish the call, they can also get your location via GPS, but that’s not what they get first. It’s your tower for the approximate location and then your GPS to pinpoint you.
