Strange location problem on some Air servers

[rnd227 0]

On Google Maps, when I use Intercrus or Veritate,  maps starts and shows my as if I were in ... Iran. If I go to another German server (Cujam, for instance), then Maps shows me correctly in Berlin

Can someone explain ? And correct ?

Explain? Most probably a geolocation error.
Correct? Nope, can't do anything from here.

Why does the error happens on one specific Air server, and not on the next ? I don't change anything on my machine when I switch an Air server, do I ? Are the Air servers  not all configured the same way ?

This is not a problem on the AirVPN end. Google maps use different data points to locate you. One of them is the AirVPN server exit IP. How do Google know where the IP (x.x.x.x) is located? They use a IP geolocation database which contains approximate location (typically country-city level) of every IP address. The number of IPs is limited (you may have heard about IPv4 address exhaustion), so nowadays providers have to buy IPs on the free market. It is possible that at some point that IP was used by some Iranian internet provider. Or it can be just a mistake in the database, who knows.
You could ask Google to update their IP database, but you'll get ignored (99% ). I would wait and hope that this fixes itself with time.

PS. Here's a cool website which shows geolocation data from few public databases: https://www.iplocation.net/ip-lookup. As far as I know Google's geolocation database is not available publicly to query.
PS2. I've checked in private window, and indeed Google Maps opens in Iran (Teheran). If I login to google account it jumps to my real location.
