bought a MacBook M1 I ran into a problem that the Mac does not see itself in any maps, although the geolocation should be fine. The locator shows the approximate location of the Mac, you can make a sound and lock the device, but it will plot a route and you can't do this. What's wrong with him?
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 15.0
It’s unlikely your Mac is defective. Note that determining your location on a Mac requires that it be connected to WiFi. Your location can not be accurately determined if you are using a wired network connection.
The ability to do that is based on a database of known WiFi network locations.
Many Apple services are currently unavailable in Russia as the country is under international sanctions making it illegal to provide certain products or services there.
Mac is connected to WI-FI. There are no problems with other devices via WI-FI. I tried to install it manually and put my city, the locator shows the approximate location at 1km. There is no my geolocation at all in the "Maps, Safari" applications. I tried to distribute the Internet through the phone - the same problem.
Does that mean I don't have a defective mac, and everything is fine with it? Thank you for your feedback
You may just need to wait until Apple services become available in Russia again after the sanctions are lifted.
