2024 MacBook Air M3 Location Services Issue

My Macbook Air M3 will not show my current location. Believe me, I have tried every recommendation on the Web until I am black and blue in the face. All my other Apple devices such as iPhones, iPads etc are all showing their location and on the same WIFI network. Again, I've tried everything to no avail and searched high and low for a solution. Please! Someone provide a fix!!!

Keep in mind that iPhones, and iPads with the cellular data modem option, can determine their position using GPS.


Macs do not have GPS hardware, so your Mac guesses at your location based upon the Wi-Fi networks around you. To get a location, you'll presumably need to have Wi-Fi turned on. You might also need to enable Location Services in System Settings > Privacy & Security.
