  1. Make sure that Location Services is enabled. Go to Settings > Privacy > Location Services and make sure that the switch is turned on.
  2. Check your network connection. GPS needs a strong network connection to work properly. Make sure that you are connected to Wi-Fi or cellular data.
  3. Restart your iPad. Sometimes, a simple restart can fix software issues that are causing GPS problems.
  4. Update your iPad's software. Apple regularly releases software updates that can fix bugs and improve performance. Make sure that your iPad is running the latest version of iPadOS.
  5. Reset your iPad's network settings. This will reset all of your iPad's network settings, including your Wi-Fi network passwords and cellular data settings. This can sometimes fix GPS problems. To reset your network settings, go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
  6. Take your iPad to an Apple Store or authorized repair center. If you have tried all of the above and your iPad's GPS is still not working, it may be a hardware issue. An Apple technician can diagnose the problem and repair your iPad.


I hope this helps!
