Hi all,

I've just bought a Kobo Arc and I seem to have a problem with getting a location detected. If I run Maps, I see most of Europe, with no location shown. If I click the location icon, I get Waiting for Location, soon followed by Your Current Location is Temporarily Unavailable.

Wi-Fi is on & connected. Other Android devices can get a rough location through my Wi-Fi and the one at work, which I also tried today.

Under Location Services, I've got both options ticked, which are Google's Location Service and Location & Google Search.

I've also had a search on here and a few people have mentioned being able to get the location through Wi-Fi.

So, is there likely to be a setting that I've missed or could the Arc be faulty? I would've thought Wi-Fi location was done through software. I'm on 4.1.1 and the update check doesn't show any available updates.
