Map app showing current location as old address

I’d make an educated guess that you have a WiFi Only model of iPad Pro?

If so, you may not have a fault, WiFi Only models do not have any GPS location capability - and as such are completely reliant upon their network connection to infer an approximate location.

Your approximate geographic location would be estimated from a “database lookup” of (a) your WiFi Network Name (SSID) or detected neighbouring WiFi networks - and (b) the “public” IP Address provided by your Internet Service Provider (ISP). 

If the mapped WiFi network name or IP Address are not available within the applicable databases, or if this information substantially differs between sources, then your approximate location may not be computed. This situation often occurs if you are in a remote/rural location where neighbouring WiFi networks are scarce - or if connecting over satellite or VPN connections.

Network IP Addresses and WiFi networks are frequently mapped in urban and cosmopolitan areas (including “crowd source” techniques) and as such approximation of your location from lookup against these databases can be provide relatively high accuracy. At population and network density diminishes, this mechanism becomes progressively less reliable.

If you can, perhaps try connecting to a different WiFi network - be it private, public or your telephone WiFi hotspot.

I hope this explanation as to possible cause is helpful.

Does it happens in ALL map apps (Apple, Google)?

Have you tried a forced restart of your iPad?

• iPad models with Face ID: Press and quickly release the Volume Up button. Press and quickly release the Volume Down button. Then press and hold the Power button until the device restarts.

Unlike your iPad (if it is a WiFi Only model), your iPhone has GPS - and, therefore, should be able to accurately determine its location when it has a view of the sky.

Do you have similar issues with your iPhone?

That's a good point, LotusPilot. I didn't think the OP was talking about an iPad "wifi only" model.

But the OP is now saying that the same thing is happening with his/her iPhone. How can it happen on a device that has GPS?

Edit: we had the same thought at the same time.

Reliable GPS positioning requires a clear view of the sky. When indoors, your iPhone relies upon your WiFi network to derive its location (based upon the lookup mechanisms described earlier) - which we know does not work on your current network/internet connection.

So, far from being a mystery, your issues are pretty much explained.

When outside, your iPhone can use GPS; when indoors, your iPhone and iPad are reliant upon the same network/internet connection to derive approximate location - which in your specific rural location, over your internet connection, doesn’t work. Cached website cookies still associate your “location” with that known when your position was last reliably updated.
