Neither apple maps nor Google maps is working in my iPod touch 4g which is updated to ios6.1. The maps fundamentally work but i'm not able to access my current location. Incidentally, the current location option doesnt work for any app.

Do you have Location turned on? Settings>Privacy


For location the iPod uses the location of nearby wifi routers that are in Apple's database. You do not have to be connected to the network/router to use that router's location. Thus, it appears that the iPod can't see a nearby router that is in Apple's database. Apple continuously updated their database based on info they obtain from iPhones. No one has been able to find a way to inform Apple of a router or correct is location.
