Why does bothe "Maps" and "Google Maps" showing wrong location of mine?

I know this is an old question but my daughters phone did it this week.

We did the standard power it off and back on.

Made sure we had the most up to date software.

Made sure location services was on.

Made sure date and time were correct.

So here's what worked.

Settings->General->Reset->Reset Location & Privacy

Hope it helps someone else.

Hello aruncsaha,

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

To troubleshoot this issue where devices on your network are reporting incorrect location, I'd like you to please follow the information outlined below. First, reset your location settings, then follow the steps for improving GPS accuracy.

Improve GPS accuracy 2,4

GPS accuracy varies depending on the number of visible GPS satellites. Locating all visible satellites can take several minutes, with accuracy gradually increasing over time. Use these tips to improve GPS accuracy:

• Make sure that you've set the date, time, and time zone correctly on the device in Settings > General > Date & Time. If possible, use Set Automatically.
  Important: Incorrect settings on your computer can sync to your device. Verify the date, time, and time zone on any computer that syncs with your device.
• Restart your device.
• Verify that you have a cellular or Wi-Fi network connection. This allows the Assisted GPS (A-GPS) on the device to locate visible GPS satellites faster, in addition to providing initial location information using the Wi-Fi or cellular networks.
  Microcells (sometimes called Femtocells) aren't supported with Location Services.
• Keep a clear view of the horizon in several directions. Keep in mind that walls, vehicle roofs, tall buildings, mountains, and other obstructions can block line of sight to GPS satellites. When this occurs, your device will automatically use Wi-Fi or cellular networks to determine your position until the GPS satellites are visible again.

Recently I have the same problem. the Location is always miles away when the Wifi is off. I never had that problem with my iPhone 6 and previous iPhones. Whats the point of having the wifi on when there is no Wifi available in the street?

I went to apple store and they replaced my phone. I still have the same problem with the new iPhone. no matter if I use my old backup or use it as a new Phone.

I did reset network too.

My partners iPhone 6 (same iOS version) is always OK. we share the same Network and the same home!

Any iDea?

If the location is off with WiFi off this would indicate an issue with a cell tower in your area.

Go outside where you have clear line of sight for satellites, turn off WiFi, go to maps and have it attempt to locate you. If it goes to the wrong location wait a few minutes for the phone to access 3 satellites. If the location is then correct call your cell provider.

Actually not as I don't have the correct GPS anywhere in London! no matter if its an open plan or a building. I did try it in Apple Store in Central London!

I did put my Simard in another iPhone 6 and it was OK.

I am so confused

You tried it in the Apple Store and showed them it was giving the wrong location? On the replacement phone?

My first phone was showing wrong location everywhere, I have changed it and came home. The replacement phone did still have the same issue I took it outside and even in central london again. although I did setup it as a new phone.

Then you will probably need to make another Genius Bar appointment and return this one. Try the one you get in the store before you leave.

Before you do you might try a different SIM in your iPhone and you might check with your cell carrier and have them chick the provisioning on your iPhone.

This worked! I have struggled for weeks with this problem. Google and Apple maps showed me in same place; but no where near where I was. So glad there was a fix.
