ok, as per previous threads, I have managed to get the maps to work and pin point to exactly where I am via wi-fi gps etc!
I have looked at various sites, and no-one really knows what's going on and just blaming everything on the new upgrade 2.1.
This is wrong.
The iphone just needs a little 'kick start' in finding the location on where you are, after this process (please see below) it will work fine as it has with mine and my girlfriends iphone.
1) Turn off iphone by the home button and the screen off switch (located on the top) keep both pressed until the phone turns off by itself.
2) Restart the phone OUTSIDE, and leave OUTSIDE for 10 minutes.
3) Turn the phone back on and go into maps.
4) DONT HIT LOCATE ME BUTTON, but manually enter postcode/zipcode in the area you are at.
5) The pin will drop into the position you have entered.
6) Now this is where it works, press the locate button the the bottom left, this will take about 30 seconds max to find you.
You will now see the blue dot on the exact location you are standing in.
THIS WILL NOT WORK INDOORS ONLY OUTSIDE.
I hope this helps.
