Q: My location on find my iPhone shows my old address rather than my new one. How can I change it.

i have just moved from one end of the country to the other, and although I have changed my address on my contacts and iCloud, all the maps, apps and "Find my iPhone" STILL have my location as at the other end of the country when I am using the device at my new address. It doesn't make for credible functioning if I happen to get it stolen. Everyone will be looking in the wrong place, but maybe that's the idea?! Can anyone help please?

iPad 2, iOS 8

    Check to see if this is only happening when connected to your home wifi router.  If this is only happening when connected to your home wifi router, it's probably because the GPS location of your router hasn't been updated yet.  This will happen over time as your iPhone continues to connect to your wifi.
