iPhone 4s location wrong... Why?

My location on my 4s is completely out, it says I'm about 30 miles away from where I actually am. It does this 90% of the time! And I'm not sure what I can do to fix it. My iPad 2 and other family members iPhone 4 on the same wifi etc. doesn't have any prOblems with this.

iPhone 4S, iOS 5

When at home in Umbria, Italy, both my iPod touch and husbands iPhone report that we are in Weston super mare, uk! We've reported the problem loads of times but nothing has changed. We've updated Os (but wish we hadn't cos the maps on ios4 soooo much better). We have given map refs address, tel nos! Can't someone do something? Makes MobileMe and other apps useless!

I followed Anjum.Sohail's instructions and determined the following:


I disabled both Location Services and WiFi, waited a couple of minutes, then turned Location Services back on (leaving WiFi off). My iPhone found me in the correct location! As soon as I turned WiFi back on and I connected, it sent me right back to Italy. I deleted my work's wireless profile and reinstalled it, but that did not seem to work. Each time I reconnect to it, my phone continues to think that I am in Italy until I repeat the steps listed above.


I've contacted our Apple rep to see if he can help me tackle this issue. I'll be sure to post any solutions we may find.
