I am having issues with location services. Worked fine for several months then all of a sudden quit.
Didn't change any settings on router or iPad.
Any ideas?

Hi Badlands! Welcome to iPF!

Could you please elaborate your problem? It is not possible to understand what problem you are having with your description.

Have you tried resetting your iPad? To do so, press and hold the power and home buttons until the screen goes black and the Apple logo appears, then release both buttons. When the iPad restarts see if the problem is still there. If that doesn't work, you could try restating all settings. No data will be lost if you try it. Here's how to do it. Go to Settings>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will lose things like WiFi passwords and website log in passwords.

None of the location services will work. Siri, weather, maps, etc. Worked when I first got the iPad and now will not.
I have reset, hard reset, reset network settings, reset router, etc.

Yes, all of the above.

Maybe location services has been turned off in settings. Go to Settings>General>Restrictions>Location Services and check to see if the location services switch is turned on.

I never said you were. I was just trying to cover the possibilities. Location services have been known to have been accidentally turned off for other members, which is why I made the post.

Sorry. Just SO annoyed at this iPad. It crashes constantly due to low memory issues and now this location stuff.

Restrictions OFF. Locations ENABLED.

How about trying this, if you haven't already tried it. Enable restrictions, turn off location services, then turn them on again.

Have tried that too.

Can't even get the right time zone.

Location of an iPad is retrieved from Apple's database. If your router is comparatively new, Apple has no way to get your location instantly from the database, so that may be the problem. It will eventually be updated. The time varies from a few days to a few months to detect your wifi router, and even a year to get your exact location. Even my location isn't exactly accurate after a year of my being with the iPad.

Did you buy a new router recently?

I got a new AirPort Extreme last year. The iPad Locations worked with it for several months. Then they just quit last month.

I also submitted my location and MAC address to Skyhook.
