IPhone 2.0 - Can't locate me in Google Maps

Has anyone else found that their original iPhones can no longer locate them using triangulation? I click on the "locate" button in Google Maps and it just sits there for minutes and never locates me on the map. Is this a bug, or a problem specific to my phone?

Just been into my local Apple store (by the way I'm in the UK). Google Maps thought i was just off the coast of Alaska, whereas down the road in Starbucks it thought I was in a small village in Germany
Demo'd it to one of the guys in the shop on my phone, a store demo phone & his own phone.... all gave the same result!
Seeing a Genius tomorrow so if I learn anything I'll post here.
Think what i'll learn is "erm, that's not right, think there's a generic fault"

  • My iPod got stolen  and I did not turn on find my ipod and they restored the ipod so I can not locate it on the map

    my iPod got stolen  and I did not turn on find my ipod and they restored the ipod so I can not locate it on the map
    please help me because it was a birthday present from my Grand ma.

    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.

  • Is it possible to have multiple locations in the Google Maps widget?

    Hey folks,
    Lets say you're designing a website for a client with multiple stores, you just want to point them all out, right?
    Just want to know if it is possible to have multiple locations in the Google Maps widget. I guess it shouldn't be that difficult, but I can't figure it out..
    any help would be highly appreciated!
    thanks,
    Thom

    It seems that you can only use one address for this widget.
    For this to work you will need to create the map in Google Maps with all your points and then copy the embed .html from Google into Muse.
    Example of an embed google map with multiple points imported into Muse:

  • I updated my iPhone to the new IOS6 and my awesome Google map app was replaced with the sucky, horrible, awful Apple map app. I want my Google navigator map app back!!!!!!

    I updated my iPhone to the new IOS6 and my awesome Google map app was replaced with the sucky, horrible, awful Apple map app. I want my Google navigator map app back!!!!!!

    I agree. I liked the previous map app.  The version 6 app is powered by tomtom, I think.  No more street view. I don't care for the new overhead view when dropping a pin.  Plus, the current map app doesn't have the local points or data base that the google maps app had.  Too bad I can't go back to the old map app.

  • Show store locations on a Google map

    What is the latest way to show store locations on a Google map in BC please? There are lots of resources but they seem to differ for the best approach to embed a Google map & many are out of date.

    There is no latest way but the safest way is to use the google geolocation based on address rather then trying to use the lattitude and longitutde from BC. SInce these do not render out anything in several cases. Like if you are in a country that does not have a state for example.
    You want to look at the latest google API and html5 implementation.

  • How can i locate my lost iphone?, how can i locate my lost iphone?

    how can i locate my lost iphone?

    The only way to locate/disable/erase any lost/stolen iPhone is through Find My Phone or a similar app. However, this requires that Find My Phone be setup/activated, on your phone, before it was lost/stolen. You would then login at iCloud.com & try to locate it. This requires the phone be turned on & have an Internet connection. There is no other way to locate a lost/stolen iPhone. Apple can't/won't help you, nor will your carrier. Report the loss to the Police, your carrier & Insurance company. Change all of your passwords.

  • I lost my IPhone 5, how can I locate it?

    How do I locate my missing IPhone 5?

    If you had "Find My iPhone" enabled in Settings > iCloud then you may be able to locate it. If not, you cannot locate it. If it was enabled then you can try locating it via http://icloud.com on a computer or the App "Find My iPhone" on another iDevice. Note: this will only work if your device is connected to a network and the device hasn't already been restored as new and/or "Find My iPhone" has not been disabled on it. Note: Disabling "Find My iPhone" is much more difficult in iOS 7.
    If you think that your device was stolen rather than lost then you should report it to the police. In either case you should contact your carrier, change your iTunes account password, your email account passwords, and any passwords that you'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc.

  • Why can't I print out google maps on my hp photosmart premium c410?

    I'm set up wireless and it works good except when I try to print out a map from google maps and sometimes from yahoo maps. Can someone help with this? I also have a hp 1350 all in one I have to usb plug in when printing from google maps. I'm running win7 64bit home premium.

    What happens when you print from those map programs? Does it fail to print or is the size incorrect? 
    If it is a size/formatting issue, then this document may help:

  • Galaxy S5 can't connect to use google maps

    I can connect to the internet using either data or wifi. But google maps doesn't work on either. Is there a GPS on/off section. It's a brand new phone. I have no idea what I'm doing or why I can't use the maps.

    Fixed it. I searched for GPS and checked the correct box.

  • How can I go back to google maps instead of apple maps?

    Apple maps are very very very bad. Is it possible to go back to google maps. I come from Spain and maps doesn't work. Always finds what you are not looking for and what you want does not exist in 75% of searches. You find places and apple maps is not able to give a route. Says that no route available and that's all
    The app that comes with the operating system is a disaster.
    Any way to go back to google maps???

    Download the Google Maps app from the App Store.

  • Can I use MapKit without Google Map

    I want to replace Google map with some other one, using MapKit overlay features as described in http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_in_MapKit . Would it be really OK according to Apple and Google terms?
    I guess MapKit is Apple's product, so if I don't use Google maps there at all, then would Google terms be applicable at all?

    Important: The Map Kit framework uses Google services to provide map data. Use of specific classes of this framework (and their associated interfaces) binds you to the Google Maps/Google Earth API terms of service.
    If you use the mk api, you will use Goggle. If you don't want to use Google, don't use mk.

  • Will my Iphone 4s give spoken directions when using the google maps?

    how do i set mey phone up to give me spoken directions?

    If you want turn-by-turn, you'll need to buy a third-party app. There may be several in the iTunes Store, depending on what country you're in. You'll probably want one that allows you to download maps rather than always going to the Internet for them.
