Mac OS Maps still not working

I've been trying to replicate the issue you've been having but can't. For me everything works as expected. As your location is estimated by local wi-fi networks are you in an isolated or shielded area with few networks to triangulate with?

In the meantime maybe something here will help:

Adam from where???

Do you have some alternative-universe doppelgänger in Austria? This person in Austria can't get location services to work either. It always reports a location of Tempe, AZ.

etresoft hinted that I should get in touch with you since it seems like a weird coincidence that my location services is locating my MBP in Tempe, AZ instead of Vienna, Austria where it should be. And then there is you who is from Tempe, AZ and has issues with the my location services function as well.

In Apple Maps I got the same issue that if I want to get directions the spinning wheel keeps going and going if the starting position is »my location«. If I just click on the »my location« arrow icon --> I'm suddenly in Tempe, AZ (see attachment below). Same goes for Time Zone (I need to set the time zone manually - otherwise I'll get Phoenix, AZ time), etc.

Long story short: might there be a connection between your problem and mine? Or is it just pure coincidence that Tempe, AZ is the epicentre of this mess :o ;)

I can't argue with the weirdness of the coincidence. It's not exactly my neighborhood, but that blue dot is no more than a 10 minute drive. I pretty much gave up on Apple Maps on Mac OS with Catalina; was just one bug too many & I had to choose my battles. After 25+ years of using Apple's operating systems, I am comfortable saying Catalina was the worst mess I can remember. Anyway, it's an odd coincidence, but I don't see how it could be anything beyond that.

Actually I just thought it was funny because of the Tempe location. But the fact that location services puts that Austrian computer right at the Harkins theatre/parking lot makes me suspect that the other computer is a grey market/used/stolen computer. I don't think satoshimage stole it. I think they were probably just another victim.

There are other explanations too. A hardware repair could have reset the serial number, maybe corrupted some database at Apple. Sometimes people don't reveal those kinds of details. They just blame some OS upgrade instead. 😄

Does it work while in Safe Mode or from a new user account?
