Yes, Zillow does use GPS information. If the government census group has got it wrong, poor Zillow!

Thank you! I was able to move my home though it was hard to drag the Icon to a location ten miles away. I hope this will solve the Zestimate problem.
Unfortunately, in our development we have 65 homes, and approximately 55 of those homes are positioned 5 to 10 miles away. This will really take intervention from Zillow to correct whatever the problem is.
I suspect Zillow is using GPS data and it was probably been entered incorrectly by the county. Prior to census time a woman knocked on our door and said they didn't have any of our homes in their database at this location and she was entering GPS data. Before that woman entered GPS data, my home was positioned about a mile away on Zillow.
Thanks again. You've been a big help.

Once you've claimed your home, you can move the home's icon on the map. Here are the relevant FAQs:

My home is shown on Zillow about 10 miles east of here. How can I get this corrected?
Many homes in my neighborhood show at this false location. Many other homes such as my next door neighbor show up at a location 5 miles north of here in a nice neighborhood of comparatively priced homes. http://www.zillow.com/homes/194-sunset-meadows-ct-37615_rb/
Zestimates are affected by this disparity as you can see by the terrains around the homes. It makes it very hard for someone searching for price comparisons in our development
