I don't think iPod touches have GPS

**Manju44444** · 03-07-2011, 10:00 AM

I mean MAPS

**i.Annie** · 03-07-2011, 10:02 AM

Is it crashing?

Do you have connection to Internet?

**Manju44444** · 03-07-2011, 10:07 AM

No I just upgraded to iOS4.3 today moreover It was not work ing when I brought it.

Yes I can connect to Internet through WiFi

**i.Annie** · 03-07-2011, 10:11 AM

Have you tried restoring?

Edit: to 4.2.1 I mean, try bringing it down to 4.2.1.

**Manju44444** · 03-07-2011, 10:18 AM

I have tried restoring .it ,did not work, that why I upgraded to 4.3 from 4.2.1

I even tried downgrading it to 4.0 but it was showing some error I even edited "hosts" file in windows. But no change . I tried from 10-4 I dint get any thing

I can't imagine why it isn't working. The wifi is working correctly right? Like you can browse the web and use wifi things right? It should be able to use Google Maps.

When you upgraded to 4.3, did you restore from back up or set up as new?

**Manju44444** · 03-07-2011, 10:26 AM

Restore from backup( i tried both backup and without backup. I created a new backup but I didnt use it)

I am using my iPod to post message right now

If a clean restore doesn't fix it, it's likely a hardware problem. I could be wrong but I feel like it is.

Try going to : settings ------> general --------> restrictions

be sure that everything is enabled , specially the location

Great advice

Hopefully that's the culprit then! Thanks, I learned something new today.

**Manju44444** · 03-07-2011, 08:05 PM

I tried it but no change

**i.Annie** · 03-07-2011, 08:08 PM

I kind of feel like it's a hardware problem then. Can you take it to Apple?

**Manju44444** · 03-07-2011, 08:18 PM

Yes.

Thanks guy's for helping me

**i.Annie** · 03-07-2011, 08:19 PM

I hope you get a new working iPod!

If the maps app opens up and it's just that it can't find you, I know exactly what to do. Apple uses shyhook for wifi enabled GPS; go to here: http://skyhookwireless.com/howitworks/coverage.php
And check to see if your wifi is marked, if not submit your MAC address and location, and they'll add it. It took them about 2 weeks to get mine set up, but it fixed the problem. Hope this helps.
