The location is gathered based on several 'services' depending on the device.
iPhones can use Wifi, cellular towers, GPS and Bluetooth.
iPads (without cellular data or GPS) can only use Wifi & Bluetooth.
The principle is… the internal radio's will do a scan & report what it can see (Wifi base stations or cellular towers etc). Then it asks Apple (or Google etc) for a location based on that info.
A Wifi scan will show the router SSID's & BSSID's (network name & MAC address). Apple probably think that your router is located at 'point A' because that is where it's database originally gathered that info. Eventually Apple will update their DB with the new details for 'point B'
Apple & Google (there are other providers too) update this DB with details from the devices that run their OS's for Apple the option is managed in 'Settings General > About > Diagnostics & usage > Automatically send' (this may be inside the Privacy settings on iOS 8?).
That toggle will allow Apple to take the data you create to use in it's DB, eventually they will get enough data to fix the location. Until then all you can do is disable wifi for locations on iOS - this forces it to use Cellular or GPS which can be more accurate, but takes more time to gather. An iPad without cellular will always be inaccurate unless you use a third party GPS receiver, it's just that wifi accuracy can make it look adequate until a router moves.
as well as my iPad still comes up with the wrong location (A) when I take photo's or in my weather App. After some time it is correct. But sometimes the problem persists. I have tried every trick I knew but to no avail.
