My location and current city on weather app is not correct, my gps works fine latitude shows where I am, but on the big clock it shows diffarent city and time than where I am. I delete all cities on weather app, but current city not showing in that cities anyway, I started the phone rebooting and a while it shows my location and then finding Fort Lauderdale and shows as if the current place which I am totally in a diffarent location and time zone.
Any suggestions?

There is a setting that allows location based services to be turned on. You must have accidentally turned it off... Check Settings -> Location and Security and make sure Use Wireless Networks is turned ON.

I use Dutty's6.5 leo4 ROM.(which is best ever rom for me) but after 1 month of using my location changed to chatham-kent city that I never was .Playing with location setting didn't help so then I restored from back-up file and "My location" changed back to right place (san francisco ca). Now after 3 days it's changed to chatham-kent again.
What's going on? Anyone?
Google maps and TT7.9 only and it's works fine but nor of them has time zone to GPS sync feature like iGo8.
I have searched for hours and not able to find this so if it is already out there please let me know. Im looking for an app like google maps that will update my position using gps on the map as I move and to have the weather radar as an overlay and loop the radar images. So basicly I can watch on the map if im moving into the storm or away from it. I have gps weather radar 2.4, I like that app, just it doesnt show on the map my gps location as I move while looping the radar.
Thanks.
how could've you missed gpsweatherradar
I do currently have that installed. I like the program, but from what i can tell it that it doesn't show your location on the map in real time like if you were using google maps with gps or garmin. If that is a feature that I missed please let me know.
Your location is the red dot in the center of the map.
Yes but i havent noticed it moving as i move with out haveing to manually update my location.
Wow you had to reinterpret your entire first post in order for the guy to understand that you have the program already and it doesn't do what you want. Come on people, read a message before you reply.
Hey all,
For some reason my location in Latitude doesn't update in the background unless I go into the app. I've got it set to update automatically.
Any ideas?

Mine was working for a few weeks then just stopped. Not sure if it's because I'm usually only running on 2G? (since Froyo 3G is unreliable in the house).
I nearly always have a 3G connection. It can't be that for me, surely.
Bumping for sweet justice
Does anyone have any idea why Latitude won't automatically update my location unless I launch the app?
Two things:
Have you checked your latitude security/privacy settings in the menu? You need to have that set to update in the background.
Also, enable the google latitude location history http://www.google.com/latitude/apps and check, i have found that my phone reports in the maps app as if it had not been updating but it in fact had. It just does not refresh the icon in maps when it does that.
If not those two items, then I do not know what.
Thanks snlu178,
I had enabled background updating. I've managed to see my location history now that's it's built up (you don't get to see it right after signing up) and I can see that it's updating in the background. Thanks a lot for the advice.

I had the same problem and I just cleared all Maps data from the Applications menu in Settings, and made sure I tapped Join Latitude instead of just enabling the Latitude layer.

Oh, just tried that, lets see how it goes
Remember it only uses cell tower location while in the background, not true gps satellites. So you won't see your location move in real time, it will only update once every 10 minutes or so.
It's the location, stupid.
I was having some troubles with Evernote and Rainy Days FCing on start, couldn't figure out why. Turns out it's because they were expecting hardware to be there that isn't -- the GPS. Downloading an app called "My Fake Location" and running it completely fixed the issue!
Now I just wish I could get it to fake location based on Wi-Fi location data. Anyone know how to do that?
I have been in trouble for a past month. Google maps was holding partial wakelocks on sleep with all settings sync check boxes cleared in Google maps app. But it didn`t help. Settings->Battery always had google maps in here for lower or higher percentage. A day ago I started using better battery stats and noticed networklocationpassivecollector holding wakelock. So i dig into Settings->Locaion access-> Access to my location switch is on. If i switch it to off and then again back to ok dialog "Locations consent" appears when I pressed disagree the problems went away. Dialog message: Allow Google`s location service to collect anonymous location data. Some data may be stored on your device. Collection may occur even when no apps are runing.
Can somebody with google maps wakelock problem confirm this?
Open maps and then location settings in that and disable the report from this device option.

If you disagree in that dialog, then your location discovery will be less accurate, because one of the 2 checkboxes on that screen will not be set.
This appears to be a location settings bug. This also happened to me but with the Facebook app.

I had Google Maps related wakelocks as well. They went away when I turned off everything that had to do with
Location reporting form Google Maps, Account Settings and GPS Settings. I'm not sure which "feature" was
causing it but there is indeed a problem.
Can anybody with this wakelock problem install Greenify app from play store. I had this problem but as soon as I hibernated maps they no longer cause wakelock and GPS and all the location settings are on. Maybe it will help same as me without a need to switch anything off.

Google uses Android phones to keep its Wi-Fi database up to date, saves driving around in a car and getting into trouble for collecting data This is why they state it may use some data even if you aren't using Maps or location services.
Disabling reporting of locations from Maps doesn't change the wake locks, as it isn't the reporting causing most of them.
So Google will use your device to scan for Wi-Fi points, plus enable your GPS if it can to get a location fix to update it's location database of Wi-Fi points. To further confuse things Google seems to have some adaptive way of using devices, perhaps after a time they give individual phones a rest from reporting, or they use more of your phone the more you use more of the service, sort of our cost for getting free location services. This means different people see different battery usage from Google Maps, and the same person will see loads one day then it suddenly stops another.
The best way of stopping it is if you have root access download an application that lets you disable apps, and then disable Google Maps, only turning it on when you need it.

Interesting. Is this an assumption or the fact? If former, could you link up the source please?
What about this app ? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.elsdoerfer.android.autostarts

Hey guys. Thanks for great advises I will try auto starts (or greenify), because after disagreeing to Google passive collector Google Now stopped working. But maps wake locks are still away
And yes Google do collects Wi-Fi routers information. I noticed that when I bring my router to other place all connected laptops web based Google maps showed that our current location is my home
