### Answer by Hitesh Vohra

- Make sure Location Services is turned on and [Maps](https://www.mindstick.com/interview/1164/how-are-site-maps-important-for-the-search-engine-optimization-process) is set to While Using the App or Widgets in **Settings > Privacy > Location Services.**

- Make sure your device's date, time, and time zone are set correctly. To change the date and time, go to **Settings > General > Date & Time.** Use Set Automatically if at all possible.
- Check that your **cellular data** or Wi-Fi is turned on and that your connection is active.
- **Start the Maps app again.** Swipe up on the app preview to pause it, then swipe up again to close it. Then open Maps once more.
- Your iPhone, touch should be **restarted.**
- Switch to a different Wi-Fi network or try a different location.
