Maps Location not working

[Kuau]

I have a 16GB wifi only iPad and having problems with maps and my current location.
I just moved from Colorado where it was working fine to Virginia where my iPad still thinks its in Colorado.
Even in safari when I go to maps.google.com it asks me to use current location and I answer yes, it still thinks I'm in Colorado.

Any advice?

Try reseting the Ipad by pressing the home and off button at the same time until you see the apple logo on the screen

I tried resetting my iPad, now when I starts maps I got the cannot determine location message. So it thinks I am still in Colorado

Remove the Map App. and reinstall it.

I don't think it's an issue with the maps app because if I use safari and go to maps.google.com I have the same problem.

Not sure what the iPad uses for it's GPS wonder if it can be updated.

I don't believe there is a functioning GPS receiver in the WiFi only iPad. It uses crowdsourcing and other things to determine location. Go into a couple of different places with hotspots in the area an it should sort itself out. If you're not in a place where there is Wifi available it can't determine where it is. There are some addon GPS receivers available.

The WiFi only iPad determines it's location by triangulating nearby WiFi hotspots. If there aren't enough hotspots in the area, the iPad cannot determine its location.

Here's a thread that more clearly explains it.Location with WIFI only
