Macbook Air - wrong location in Date & Time and Maps; correct location in browser and iCloud two-factor

Hi b_ruck,

Welcome to Apple Support Communities! We're glad you've reached out for help with this inconsistent location information on your MacBook Air. Congratulations on your new computer!

Let's get to the bottom of this together.

To start, let us know if the option to ”Set time zone automatically using current location” is enabled in Apple menu () > System Preferences > Date & Time.

You mentioned that System Services is granted access to location services. If you click on details by System Services, does it show that all options are enabled there?

Here's a guide to help:

Allow apps to detect the location of your Mac - Apple Support

If the issue persists, let us know what happens if you manually set the time zone manually under System Preferences > Date & Time, then restart your Mac and check again.

We're here for you if you've got any questions.

Have a great day!

Hi b_ruck,

Will it be possible to join your MacBook Air to a different Wi-Fi network in order to test if the location updates correctly? Unlike iPhone, which may draw its location from a combination of Wi-Fi, cellular tower triangulation, and GPS, your MacBook may rely on location data provided by its Wi-Fi connection.

If the issue is resolved on another Wi-Fi network, try restarting your home router. It may be necessary to reach out to the manufacturer of the router, or your internet service provider to inquire about configuring the location properly for your Wi-Fi network. You can refer to the following guide for the recommended Wi-Fi router settings:

If the same issue persists across different Wi-Fi networks, you'll want to reach out to Apple Support directly at that point to investigate further. Use the following link to determine your preferred contact method:

Take care!
