I'm in California, but my iPad (maps, Google Earth) thinks I'm in Scotland. My iPhone and my husband's iPad maps show the correct location, so I don't think it can be the router or modem. I don't know what gives with the iPad. Weirdly, my old iPad showed the same incorrect locations (in Scotland!) as my new one. Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this?
If you had another iPad that showed this incorrect location and restored the new iPad from a backup of the old one, it would lead me to believe there is something in the backup file that is causing this. What troubleshooting have you tried? If you make a good backup of the device and then restore the device as new, test without adding any additional content to the device. See if that corrects the issue. If not, you can restore to your old backup. If it does, then restore to the old backup. If it breaks it again, then the problem is in the backup, and you would need to sync your content back individually.

That sounds logical. Yes, I did restore it from my old iPad. I'll try it tomorrow and see if it works. Thanks so much! It's the first thing I've heard that makes sense.
