Updated my M1 iMac and now all location services are dead (FindMy, Maps, browser, etc). FindMy from the phone shows the iMac as last being seen during the upgrade process. Any troubleshooting suggestions? All I have done is turn location off and on and restarted the machine. I'm pretty clueless! Thanks to all in advance.

Mine did something similar. Will have to investigate further.

Posting this in case anyone stumbles upon this thread while searching for a solution--

The strangest thing has happened... I had some people staying with me for few months because of housing trouble. They left two days ago and just as a (paranoid) precaution I changed my WifI password this afternoon and voila, now everything is working. At least for the moment. That makes zero sense to me. Everything else internet related on my machine was working perfectly fine. For some reason a new password caused location services to work again. Hopefully it lasts.
