Iphone 5s - why does maps show a route I've never requested?

I was recently searching on my maps for a location from one point to another and how long it would take to walk.  The following day I go into maps and there on the screen are the driving directions from my home address to a place the other side of the country - which I didn't request or search for.  Anyone else had the same thing happen?  Does anyone know why it would happen?  Could it be linked to a website I've looked at?  Am completely baffled.

Initially, this sounds more of an environmental issue than a hardware.
A couple of things to ask..
Does the glitch only happen in your area? If you go for a drive 50 or 100kms away and use it in that area, does the location go off somewhere in that area too and put show you in a strange place after a period of time? Or does this issue seem to only happen in your area?
Also when it goes off to this other place, if you do nothing and just keep walking, running or what ever you are doing, does it eventually find you again in the correct location?
I'm wondering if you are a getting a conflict between the GPS location and the Cell Tower/WiFi locations when you are in a certain place and one overrides the other.

    It's happened to me before as well. Try holding both lock(top right) and home buttons simultaneously until u see a slight flash of wight then just reboot it normally. If that doesn't work try restoring your device from itunes

  • Why does firefox show up as a plugin on volume mixer?

    Why does firefox show up as a plugin on volume mixer? After updating a flash plugin into firefox (when it had requested me to update it), it no longer shows up as firefox in volume mixer. It now shows up as some plugin icon. I really don't understand this, and wish it to be the firefox icon again. What is going on and what happened? It names itself "Plugin Container For Firefox" What does that mean? It has been this way ever since, and nothing I have done has fixed this. Restarting, refreshing, reinstalling, clearing cache, etc. Can anyone think of something please? :(
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == This happened just a couple days ago (june 25, 2010 exactly)

    I have this, but my volume on firefox doesnt work at all

  • I have an iPod touch 4th gen. why does it show the wrong album art only on my ipod and not on itunes? Is there any way I can fix it?

    I have an ipod touch 4th gen. why does it show the wrong album artwork on my ipod and it's fine on itunes. why is that and is there any way to fix it? please help!

    I think it can't find the right or any artwork and ends up putting junk in there.
    And can happen with artist and other tags.
    probably fine with commercial media but otherwise....? I think you have to manaully go in and edit
    I also don't like how it handles and stores non-Apple iTunes store content.

  • Why does listener show +ASM1 as BLOCKED

    I did a lsnrctl status on the listener and it showed that +ASM1 status as BLOCKED. Why does listener show ASM instance as blocked? How does the agent connect to ASM instance if it is blocked?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I assume the ASM entry that you are showing refers to what should be in db_1/network/admin/tnsnames.ora?
    My tnsnames.ora does not have an ASM entry at all, and I am experiencing the same issue as the original poster. Should I add one and restart ?
    Thanks,
    Colm.
