Find My iPhone Map Display

Within the past two weeks, the Find My iPhone map display has been divided into blocks separated by multiple grid lines. This results in inaccurate locations for the device. How do you resolve this issue?

I've tried setting it to both; standard results in dots appearing over a blank background. Setting it to hybrid shows them on the satellite image, but with no street signs. Basically, for some reason, nothing from the map will display.

HT4061 How do I refresh the Find My iPhone map now that they have "upgraded" the product? There is no longer a refresh button.

Until this week there was a button next to the device identification that allowed you to refresh the Find My iPhone map. That button is now gone and I cannot see a way to refresh the map without exiting and reentering Find My iPhone. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

You need to go to the part where you see your device on the map and then there is a little refresh button next to the name of your device on the map page.

Can the iphone maps display more than one pin at the same time?

For example, on a recent trip to New York I preloaded bookmarks of all the places I wanted to visit into the iPhone Maps. I then wanted to see where they all were in relation to one another so I could decide which one to go to next (MOMA, Guggenheim, Metroplitan Museum of Art for example). Is it possible to have the map display them all at the same time?

Are you sure about that Andrew. I see no option to toggle on all my bookmarked pins. I can pick one to show and it shows up. But if I pick another, the previous one will go away. Only doing a search for stuff in an area will Google Maps show multiple pins, but I see no way of making all your saved bookmarks show up.
Did it on mine just now but I also did a very small location here in Sacramento. Dropped a pin in 1 city, Bookmarked, Dropped a few others and bookmarked at least 6 cities in the general Sacramento area, zoomed out just a bit and saw 6 red Pins. Which are all bookmarked.
If I could snap a photo of my screen I would post it.

Having problems with find my iphone map

The basic map appears and but you cannot zoom in or out or change it hybrid or satellite map. The three buttons bottom right corner are now a bright green. I am using windows 8 and tried it on both explorer and google chrome. It used to work great up until about two weeks ago. Anyone know why this is happening on icloud.com?

I usually use wifi when I am at home or even out. If I cannot track where my iPhone is, then what use of Find My iPhone invented for? And also the built in Assisted GPS function for the only uses of offline navigation and location service ONLY when with Internet access. Unlike the other phones such as GalaxySII, it can be real-time tracked. Although Apple has many restrictions, but it should improve the safety services.
iPhone or iPad, with or without cellular data or even wifi sometimes, is always full with fun and functionable. I can deal with my works with many useful apps such as quick office, pages etc. When I am bored, oops, I'm sorry, I won't be bored - I can spend my time with a thousand types of games or watching a series of movies/ dramas downloaded. With iDevices, I will not be living in a dull and meaningless world.

Find my iphone map no longer moving and scrolling as before

I have tried this question on another forum where someone else had the same problem, but there's been no further response, so I'll try my luck here.
I regularly use Find my iPhone to keep track of my autistic son, who has an iPhone 4, when he is out with his support worker. For the last couple of months when using the app the map no longer moves and centres itself automatically to the whereabouts of the green dot when the phone is located, so I therefore have to hunt around to where I expect he may be. Also the map no longer zooms in and out as before using the mouse wheel. Instead I have to use the buttons in the corner of the map.
It happens on both Chrome and IE browsers on Windows 8.1, and all software/apps are up to date.

Thanks, Lawrence. I figured that was what I was going to have to do in the end. I have a few games with quite a few hours invested, and I worry that I'll lose the progress I have as they do not save to the cloud. I may have to bite the bullet, and just take the plunge to resolve this. I just want a way to easily transfer my "Home Computer" for my iPhone. My laptop is years old and in need of being replaced, and it's about time to upgrade my phone. These life events piling up are making me consider switching to a friendlier OS. I'm not using this as a threat. I just hope some apple high up will read this, and realize that we need alternatives. Life happens.
Thank you both Paul and Lawrence. I clicked "This helped me" not knowing it would remove the option to choose "This fixed my problem" too. For anyone else reading this thread. Using the guide provided has done both. It has helped me and given me a fix to my current problem. Lawrence has also provided me with the last bit of information I feel is missing from wjosten's guide. That syncing will completely erase all of your data and reinstall it in one fell swoop. It's a great fix. Even if it isn't the exact one I wanted. Thank you again!

Find my iPhone Maps not loading in Safari on Mac

I have a very strange thing happening where when I use "Find my iPhone" in Safari on my Mac the maps don't load. I just get a blue layer load with the location dot showing. The maps load with no problem in Chrome and Firefox. I don't know why they aren't loading in Safari.
Any help or suggestions would be very much appreciated.

Map in "Find my iPhone" app

Streets, roads, highways, etc. won't display on "Find my iPhone" map.

I have 4 devices online. 3 of them are at my home with me, and are displaying in the grid lines. The 4th device is a few miles away from me, and is displaying in the grid lines as well. However, there are no streets, roads, highways, or anything else showing up on those gridlines. So I can see that the 4th devices is northwest of me, but I have no idea where.
I did do an upgrade to iOS 8.2 this morning, and this feature hasn't worked correctly since.

Locating Phone w/ Find My iPhone When Login Name Changed on Icloud

My son had his iPhone 6 stolen and it was registered on Find My iPhone. About 10 days after it was stolen, while we were periodically monitoring iCloud to see if it ever got turned-on, my son changed his login name & password on iCloud. So now we has two devices (iPhone 6 & iPad) with the old name on them with corresponding passwords, and his iCloud account with a new name & a new password.
To add perspective on my question, even though the iPad had the old name & old password, it was located on his iCloud Find My iPhone map & iCloud would indicate when the iPad was turned on or off. Just to confirm, his iCloud account has a new login name & new password.   What I'd like to find out is since there appears to still be a linkage between his iCloud account and his iPad, would it follow that there would continue to be a linkage with his iPhone 6 (old name/old password) and his iCloud account. If the linkage continues, we would continue to monitor his iCloud in case the phone gets turned on; if not, we will of course just have to move on.   Thanks very much for any help with this.

I've learned a lot about Apple Customer Service and this forum through the unfortunate theft of my son's phone. First of all, the customer service people at Apple are poorly trained. My first 4 calls during the theft resulted in totally different answers by 4 different people. One techy from Florida was adamant that we would not receive an email if the stolen phone was connected to the internet via wifi/or 4g. He, of course, was completely wrong, and this is about as basic an issue as you can get with Find My iPhone. And I continue to wait, going on close to a week now, for what should have been a fairly routine question from a "tier 2" or Senior Adviser as they're called, for an answer to our question.
When I stumbled upon this Apple "Support" Community, I was elated. I thought, at last there's bound to be someone here who could give us some help, perhaps an Apple employee that hangs out here and tries to "be there" for their customers. Well, after waiting about 3 days and seeing that over 100 people have read my question, I am frankly surprised that not even one person has offered any help at all!   Based on my personal experiences with the Apple Customer Service Department and this Apple Support Community, I am not impressed.
I am very familiar with the way a good tech forum works and quickly learned this is not such a forum. I realized I had to go somewhere else to look which I did. I found another Apple forum (not run by Apple btw), and I posted the exact same question.   I received a reply within 20 minutes.   I suspect I will receive more throughout the day with the kind of advice and help I was hoping to get through Apple Customer Service and/or this Support Forum.
My reason for posting this comment to your support community is to let other new people realize there are other much, much better places on the internet to look for help and support with their Apple problems and issues.

Find my iPhone sound for iPod 4G

I've misplaced my ipod touch 4g & the find my iphone map is saying its in my house.
My headphones were still plugged into the ipod & i tried playing the sound but nothing came up.
Does the sound still work

Yes, through the headphones.

For some strange reason, maps don't render when using Find My iPhone.

After updating to IOS 8.1 (or maybe a coincidence), whenever I use Find My iPhone app on my phone, or Apple Maps, I only see the gridlines but no other detail about roads, etc. Anyone experiencing this, and any solution? Thanks.

Need help with icloud, FIND MY IPHONE, google maps

I pull up icloud on my computer, see all my iphones that are on listed but when I go to test the FIND MY IPHONE, all I see is the iphone I chose and a "CAN'T SHOW LOCATION, GOOGLE MAPS IS NOT AVAILABLE". How do I make it available? I have google earth downloaded on my notebook and it works on my desktop computer but not on my laptop. I have hit "display content" on the alert bar but I get nothing.

I had the same problem when I used Firefox as my browser; problem went away when I used IE instead.

HT5622 why does Find My iPhone via iCloud on my iMac use Google maps and not Apple maps?

when I use Find My iPhone through iCloud on my iMac, the app uses Google maps to display locations. Why? Shouldn't it use Apple maps?

thanks
I used Apple maps on my iPhone, iPad and iMac and prefer it over Google maps except for street view (which albeit has an annoying, difficult to use interface). In El Salvador, Apple maps was certainly more accurate than Google maps. I like Apple maps turn-by-turn navigation via my Sonata's sound system, quite nice

After Upgrade to IOS 6.1, find my iPhone's map cannot see the street or city, especially in China, can we change back to google map in this app?

After Upgrade to IOS 6.1 also with "find my iPhone" app, the map when locate my iphone cannot see the street or city, especially in China, can we change back to google map in this app?
If the map cannot show details, how can we find my iphone? And it seem Apple just have an good idea for customer only but it is not function, why need to use Apple map in "Find my Iphone" if we all know it is not a good map!
So stupid Apple!!!!!

It won't help find your iPhone, however.

My "Find My iPhone" says on map that my phone is here at my house...but it's not! So...I guess that feature doesn't work?

My "Find My iPhone" says on map that my phone is here at my house...but it's not! So...I guess that "Find my iphone" feature doesn't work? Very frustrating. My iphone volume might be turned off ...does that make a difference if you use the sound locator on the find my iphone?
Tech support INSISTS that the iphone locator on i Cloud is accurate. How can it be? My phone is NOT here!

Jennie
Is your device showing a green or grey dot?
Here is some background on how location services works.

Here is what happens if the device is turned off

This linksays if it can't be found it will show the last location for 24 hrs and then it will clear the map.

Mine always works fine... it's say within 25' of where I am.
