Is geolocation software or hardware?

[Ascertion]

I used to have my weather set via geolocation but ever since my phone got wet, it's had problems finding my location (gps works still.) Maybe it's accuweather?

GPS does require a physical receiver to pick up the signal and translate it into software data the apps use for geolocation.
SO if your GPS receiver is working, and its accurate then the geolocating features should technically work.
But when you add water to the mix, then anything is possible.
