Brenden,
As I said I have brought my MacBook into town and am sitting in a Loacl McDonalds using their WiFi. When I opened Maps the last place, in this case a view of my home, was still shown. I clicked on the location arrow in the upper left a couple times and nothing happened. Here I should note that I had Maps in Hybrid mode, if that makes a difference. I minimized Maps to open up my browser and make this update post. While typing this I went back to Maps and changed the view to Standard and just as quickly it scrolled the location to where I am sitting. I'm not sure if changing the map view had any effect or it just took a bit for Maps to figure out where I am.
Now I am wondering if the view has something to do with being able to be located or if I am remote enough at home to be outside the range of being located. That said, however I am only a couple miles closer to the same tower I use at home.
Have a great weekend!
