Hi, I have recently moved home and changed my details in my Apple ID but when using find friends or the maps app I am still located at my previous address, can you help ?
iPad mini Wi-Fi, iOS 7.1.2
Did you move your wifi router too ? If so that's probably the problem. Take your iPad to a public wifi and see if the map shows the proper location.
HI bobseufert thank you for your answer, yes I did move my wifi with me and I think your absolutely right that the problem is with the wifi but I'm not sore how to fix it any suggestions ?
If I remember right the wifi is crowd sourced in Apples data base. I'm not sure if it just takes time for the wifi to report it's location based on other nearby wifi or if bringing a iPhone with it's GPS chip near the router will speed up the process.
Hopefully another Forum member has the answer to this part of the question.
Thank you bobseufert I have been moved for nearly 2 weeks and as yet no change I've also got an I phone using same router, I'll see if it changes in the next few days
You're welcome. I just posted a similar question and linked it to yours to see if we can find the solution.
