I'm also having an issue with my location. It seems to be working when I turn on wifi, however it's showing me in london and various other places that I am not (I'm in Michigan). I'm on verizon so I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it, wondering if anybody else has had a similar experience.

I remember reading something in the thread before it switched over to Mr. Pippy's that some people have had their location determined, but it was suggested that this was Google's Wifi Locating service. I know they have a database with a lot of wifi networks so that could be the reason your being located.

This applies unless you've changed your IP address and/or router since Google drove by your location with their cars, in which case they no longer know where you are

It's not WiFi. They use cell towers. This is why My Location works on older phones that have neither WiFi nor GPS.
