This is what I found in Google Search:


"

  1. Cancel the request. If the request is still pending, you can cancel it by opening Apple Maps and tapping on the "Recents" tab. Then, swipe left on the request and tap on "Cancel."
  2. Delete the request. If the request has already been sent, you can delete it by opening Apple Maps and tapping on the "My Location" button. Then, scroll down and tap on "Edit." Finally, tap on the "Delete" button next to the request.
  3. Disable location sharing. If you're worried about accidentally sending map requests in the future, you can disable location sharing altogether. To do this, open the Settings app and tap on "Privacy." Then, tap on "Location Services" and turn off the switch next to "Share My Location."

Hello ii17,

Location Services uses GPS, Bluetooth, crowd-sourced Wi-Fi hotspots, and cellular towers to determine your location. If you still can't find your current location in Maps, close the Maps app and reopen it. You can also try to restart your iPhoneiPad, or iPod touch.
