Hi there Rangergranger,

If a device is powered off/the battery has died, or it is in Airplane Mode, Find My will display its last known location for up to 24 hours.

To get more information on how to use Find My to locate devices, you can review the following Apple Support articles, which discuss Find My in detail:

• Use the Find My app to locate a missing device or item - Apple Support
• Locate a device in Find My on iPhone - Apple Support
• Locate a device in Find Devices on iCloud.com - Apple Support

Best!

Rangergranger,

You won't be able to update or refresh the location from your end. The resources provided have the best information we have regarding finding your lost device.

Take care.
