Q: Why does my Mac appear at the wrong location, yet my iPad appears at the correct addrtess?
I switched on Find my Mac and iPad just to check it worked and the Mac appears at the wrong address and with a totally different postcode, yet the iPad appears over the correct address? (They have the road name incorrect but that is the same on Google maps!)
PowerBook, Mac OS X (10.7.1), OS Lion 1.0.13

Your Mac can only be located using your and nearby WiFi networks and this is inevitably not very accurate. The iPad is presumably using GPS which is accurate to within a few feet.
