Hello all,

I think this is an known issue based on an article I read, but I have not been able to find a solution for it, if one exists or found a time line on a resolution.

The problem is when I open Maps on my device, my pin is displayed correctly, but the tag says that I am in the Eastern Cape, South Africa, with no address or at the very least a town or city.

Based on the article I am assuming this is valid for all iPhone's in South Africa.

I want to know it the is a work around for this or if not, is there a date on the resolution on the issue, the maps are not out of date, because if I search for my address it is found, more or less give or take a km, but the location services are just no picking up my location down to the town or city at all.

The result is when I ask SIRI what the weather is going to be I am told the there is not weather for the Eastern Cape. Asking for directions is TOTALLY out.

Any help is appreciated.

TIA
