Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
Ok tried so many ways to find location reset locations on been to apple store worked fine THERE
not my IPad or settings
Was working fine till I up graded to os 6.1.3
Still my IPad can't find my location for maps
But many other aps I use are not working cause they can not find my location
Will apple please fix this prob or tell me how Help
iPad 2, iOS 6.1.3
Is this an iPad with WiFi? Or one with WiFi+Cellular? WiFi only iPads do not have GPS chips. They get whatever location data they get from wireless routers. If the routers are not in Apple's database, the location data can be wrong. There is no way for the end user to access the database directly.

Ok thanks for reply
All was good re. Locations until I up graded my IPad to os 6.13
Now have friends with iPads here at my house
everything working with my wifi
But not locations
no locations so thinking my router is no longer working with locations
This prob is a bug driving me crazy
Where do I turn to ? Apple or telstra ?
So why was router working ok with my IPad 2 re locations
Now not with any IPad re locations
At for your imput
Sorry for being a pain but I really need a solution as aps I use for my business require location services

Meg if this is you name hi
I agree I think it will turn out my Telstra router is not on the apple thingo
Ah data base but it was ok for months
But now big prob as each day passes aps are asking for location services. Due to some legal requirement
Ta for the interest and maybe help solving
But okay for all including apple for telling me the problem
BUT
I need to solve ?!
Until the routers you connect with get registered in the database, there's nothing you can do. If you have an iPhone or friends with them and they use your WiFi network, it may speed up the process. However, you have a device that does not have GPS. It will never do location services in the way that a device with GPS will.
I have Ipad mini wifi only. when i used ios 6.12 turn on wifi load location and map then i turn off wifi the map still locate when i roam and go out . If not have gps chip how this can locate when turn off wifi and locate with offline mod . now i updraded ios 6.13 gps chip not work can't locate . Why? Ipad mini have gps chip but apple fix ios 6.13 for ipad wifi only don't not include driver for gps chip or hide this?
The iPad (mini or regular) with WiFi only does not have a GPS chip. The GPS transceiver of part of the celluar chip that Apple uses. The WiFi only versions don't have it.
Thanks got friends android logged into my wifi now have locations not accurate but close enough to allow aps that require locations ta Meg
IPad can't find locations
