Cannot locate your position in Google Maps

If you plan on trying to find where you are while driving down the road, forget it. It gives you an error saying something along the lines of unable to determine your position or something close to it. Kind of *****, but just letting people know if you haven't tried it yet.

I have tried it while in a passenger of a moving vehicle and it worked perfect. I had this problem just a single time and I turned the phone off and on again and it worked without issues.

  • Can I locate my iPhone on google maps?

    Is there a way to locate my iPhone on Google Maps? Just curious.
    André

    If you open google maps and enter a destination it will ask you if you want to use the current location as a start point.
    I have just tried this and it knew where I was. Was that what you were wanting it to do?
    I have used google maps on 2 occasions now to get me to my destination when lost and it has known where I was both times and guided me there!
    Indeed, it has been a real life saver!
    More praise for the iphone!

  • 'switch control cannot locate your face'

    I get this message across the top when I turn it on and the slider is non-responsive

    That message implies that you have one of the accessibility functions on, 'Switch Control'. See if a triple-click of the home button turns it off, and if it does then do into Settings > General > Accessibility and change what the 'Accessibility Shortcut' at the bottom of that screen is set to.
    The iPad manual says :
    Bail out! Triple-click the Home button at any time to exit from Switch Control.
    If the triple-click doesn't turn it off then if I have it turned 'on' I can still use the slider to unlock the screen and type in my passcode - you can't do that ?

  • I am in nanchang jiangxi china but my local weather and google map is showing unknown location so Plz help me

    I am in nanchang jiangxi china but my local weather and google map is showing unknown location so Plz help me

    The weather application is powered by "Yahoo". It doesn't have all cities listed in the database and your city is also not listen. Therefore it's not showing your local weather. You can "ADD" a nearby location in the weather application.
    For the location problem, turn the location service "OFF" & "ON". Restart your phone (by long pressing the ON & OFF button on top right & slide to tun off). Then use a WIFI connection to run the google map application and locating your position. I hope this will fix the issue.

  • Text a location with google maps?

    Hi:
    I just bought a iphone yesterday and I am curious if this is possible:
    Sending a message to someone (SMS) saying, lets meet at this location, and post a google maps link to that location so that person can click on it and go to that location online through google maps and look up directions on how to get there.
    That other person has an iphone too.
    Thanks.

    There is no URL provided with the Google Maps application but you could do this with Google Maps using Safari but the iPhone does not support copy/cut/paste at the present time anyway.

  • Google Maps and Skyhook - doesn't work as expected; it works better!

    Hello all and thanks for taking the time to read this. 
    I was under the impression that when you pressed the Locate button in the Google Maps application that the iPod took the MAC address of the WiFi Router it was connected to and then polled Skyhook's database to get the Lat and Long of that router. After this the Maps application would also download appropriate map images to display underneath. This is all well and good however today I noticed that without connecting to any router Maps was able to track my position as I walked down a residential road with only encrypted home WiFi connections available - none of which could actually provide me with an Internet connection. Whilst I can see that the iPod could obtain the MAC address of these routers as I walked past I'm at a loss as to explain how it managed to turn this into the Lat and Long which was being displayed as a blue circle. I know I hadn't connected on a free WiFi connection as the Map images didn't update.
    Does anyone have any explaination?

    Thanks for all the replies. 
    I went to watch mrs totes play a Netball match on Saturday, somewhere I've never taken the +iPod touch+ before. It could see two encrypted networks and pretty accurately determined my position. As you can see only a certain amount of cached map image data was available. The fact that it still found my position spoiled my only theory that the iPod might cache a local MAC/Lat/Long table.
    Here are some images to illustrate:
    I guess you are suggesting that it downloads and caches a table of a certain radius when you determine your location and have an Internet connection. Interesting. I'm driving to 40 miles to Bristol tomorrow once I get they I'll see if I can determine my position.
    cheers

    P.S. They won 31-16 and mrstotes was 'man' of the match.

    This gives the count as per the state in the google map, if we click a state it will show us the count, but its holding good only for 11 records in the map
    Appreciate your response

    I haven't yet used the tag. It looks quite interesting.
    I had a look at the
    cf_googleMap
    Documentation out of curiosity. Apparently, putting
    <cf_googlemapshow/> at the end, just before the closing body
    tag, solves a number of Javascript issues.

  • 6300 and google maps

    Anyone know how to get "my location" to operate on google maps.Realise 6300 is not GPS but sure I read somewhere that your WAP/ network can triangulate your location even though it may be a street or so away from the actual position.
    Thanks

    if you have the google maps launched yes i think it is capable of triangulation and using internet connection in combination to get the job done. are you using the internet connection and the google maps are not doing anyting or what happens? for google maps you need the internet connection you know that right?

  • Issue with google maps!

    The blue marker which shows your current position in google maps does not move smoothly. It actually skips forward to keep up with me while I travel. It's really annoying! Does anyone else face the same problem or is it just me?

    If you remove the Arial fonts from /User/Library/Fonts and get into Google Maps Street View, it works.
    Then, if you put the fonts back where they were, it still works.
    Go figure.
    Thanks to BillMacP that figured it out in the Using Snow Leopard forum.

  • Can you locate your iPad 2 without the find my iPhone app?

    My iPad 2 doesn't have the find my iPhone app and now i've lost it. Is there any other way to locate it? Please help!!

    No.
    Apple (and no one else) can not assist (with serial number or iCloud) in finding a lost or stolen iPad.

  • 6303 Classic Google Maps

    Hi,
        I have just got this phone and have been unable to get "Google maps", "Download!" etc to work. I have tried to manually configure the internet but it does not allow me to add proxy details (Real handy!). I have tried the .prov method and it is not supported on this phone. I am a bit stumped as to why we are not allowed to add Proxy details. Any Help would be really appreciated.
        Cheers
        Phil

     You need an external GPS device the following are Nokia GPS devices there are 100s of external GPS devices and most like both below use bluetooth to connect to your device all you need is the software on your mobile like google maps to use the GPS potential
    LD-3W:
    65g (still feels really light)
    15 hours operating time
    7 Days Standby
    It is also a nice small size being compact and light
    LD-4W:
    31g
    11 hours operating time
    4 days standby
    The only real thing the LD-4W is better than the LD-3W with is looks. Personally-especially as its cheaper-I would go for the LD-3W.

  • Install google maps

    Hi everyone
    I bought my ipad air in the US , than i brought it into my living country ( not the us) everything seem to be ok except i can not install google maps. First i can not find google maps on app store,second when i tried with google i found a download link directly from app store but when i click this link, it is blank and nothing happen ....
    Does anyone have solution for this cáe???

    There is no direct web download link for any legitimate iOS app - all apps must be downloaded from and installed from the iTunes/App store.  If google maps does not appear in your country's App store, then it is not available in your country.  Google Maps has traditionally not been available in several countries, such as the UAE, at least not as of last year (apparently no longer so, see link below).
    <edit>  Here is the latest update I could find from Google
    https://support.google.com/gmm/answer/2839790?hl=en
    If a country is not listed there, then Google has not released the app in that country's store front yet.

  • I installed the new google maps app and I am unable to make it work because it says, cannot reach server. I have a iphone 4 with 6.0.1 up to date. Please advise where I can locate to chech if my location is turned on.

    I installed the new google maps app and I am unable to make it work because it says, cannot reach server. I have a iphone 4 with 6.0.1 up to date. Please advise where I can locate to check if my location is turned on.

    i found a solution for this issue when google maps shows you an empty map error message cannot reach server. Click on  the icon next to search and you are supposed to be presented with your profile, if not u will have an empty space. click on that space, then the "gear " Icon and logout.
    restart your iphone then strat google maps again and log back in.
    apparently this is happening when you change your google acount password or enble or disable 2 step verification.

  • HT1688 the Apple Maps app won't locate an address, the address is a medical center in gainesville, fl 4037 NW 86th Terrace 32606. i had to google map it in order to find the location... please update addresses on your Maps app... how often are the Maps up

    How often does Apple Maps update address locations?? there is an address in Gainesville, Fl it is a health facility as it was priority to locate, the address is 4037 NW 86th Terr, 32606. I had to use my google maps app... it then took me to the correct address and located it no problem. please update at least this address so people in need of health care don't go through the same thing I had to endure...

    The satellite imagery on Apple Maps shows that whole area as undeveloped woods.   Google shows a brand new building with the nearby streets.
    Use the "Report a Problem" button on the Maps to inform Apple of the required update.

  • IPod touch 5G has no GPS built-in, then why Google map does show your location without wifi connection?

    Am confused with the above, based on Apple's web site, iPod touch 5G has no built-in GPS, see this page:
    https://www.apple.com/ipod-touch/specs.html
    However when I bring my iPod touch 5G to outside where no WiFi available, but when I move, the Google Map
    on the iPod touch 5G does follow me and  show my current location, though the location accuracy is not high, say, errors can be
    around 10 meters or higher.
    Wonder how the location information is acquired on iPod touch 5G if no GPS, no WiFi?
    Thanks
    David

    Because wifi networks are within range of the iPod and the iPod detected them and the iPod already have the location of the networks on the iPod.
    You do not have to be connected to a newwork to use the location of a netowrk.
    For location the iPod uses the location of nearby routers that are in Apple's database of routers and their location. Thus it appears that Apple's database is incorrect. You do not have to be connected to the router, just within range.
    Apple periodically updates their database based on information they obtain from iPhones, The iPhone has to have turned on the option to send info to Apple. no one has found another way to get the location of a router added/corrected.
      You can confirm that by going to well-know place with wifi like Starbucks or McDonalds
