When I try to use find my iPhone on iCloud, I get "The location of your devices cannot be shown because Maps is not available". I checked my device's privacy settings to see if Find my iPhone was allowed to use my location, and it was. What can I do to correct this problem?
iPod touch, iOS 8.4.1
I received the same "Maps is not available" error message when I was using Firefox,
but when I logged into icloud.com using Safari on my iMac, Find My iPhone
worked properly. It displayed the map with the location of devices.
In the same vein, when I used Firefox to access icloud.com, Notes would not load.
There was an alert: "Network unavailable or slow."
Then an error message: "Can't load Notes. There was a problem loading the application."
I recall seeing an Apple Support article which said Firefox is not a fully supported browser
for icloud.com.

Is Apples Maps app available on the iPod Touch? Is that app installed & allowed to access your location?
Check if 'Find my i…' works in a browser or on another device, iCloud seems to be bad at supporting all devices, you may need to try others.
Maps has access to my location, but I have not tried another browser yet.
Maps not available?
