Q: This app has been working great for the last 5 months, but now it shows my son at home when he is actually 40 miles away. What's up with that?

    Welcome to the Apple community.

     

    If your son is in a location that cannot be determined, your app may well be showing his previously known location. This happens to me sometimes, but later corrects itself when my son becomes locatable again. This tends to occur, for example, when he is on the train crossing the English Pennines, where there are few telephone transmitters to locate him.
