Wrong location

I moved about a month ago, bringing my router with me. I have already sent the corrected location information to Skyhook, though I hear Apple is no longer using their database. I just got a new Macbook Pro yesterday. No matter which application I use on the iPad: browser, maps, StarWalk, the location is still my old address. However, the MacBook Pro correctly identifies my current location in location aware websites like Google Maps. I assumed the two machines would use the same database, but it doesn't seem that way. Is there a fix for the iPad? I have tried resetting the machine with Location Services off, then turning them back on again, with no improvement. I wish Apple provided a simpler way to update wireless router locations.

iPad 16GB WiFi, MacBook Pro 15", Mac OS X (10.6.4)
