Find my Ipad ?

[slipknot]

Hello again folks... right, Find my Ipad

I have this setup except that its showing my ipad nowhere near where it is.

I'm sure the setup is correct but thinking i must be missing something.

Hope someone who can help.

Thanks

Do you have a 3G or WiFi iPad? Only 3G iPads have GPS, WiFi iPads 'try' to determine their position through a database of WiFi hotspots, but it's approximate and, in rural areas, can be non-existent.

You can get a GPS add-on for your iPad if it's WiFi, though it's unlikely to be helpful for the 'Find My Pad' application.

Thanks

Tim.. thx for a prompt response...

I'll just have to make sure I don't misplay it :=)

BTW its a wi-fi version..

The wifi only version uses it's ip address to determine location. Which can usually be way off.
