Did u try update the iOS up to 4.3.3 ?

Mine is a iPad 2 32gb Wifi Black, also have issue with the location service, where when i open the map it won't detect my current location. I power it off, switch it on again, connect to my wifi ap at home, then it works.. it now able to detect my current location, same goes when I use my Nokia N8 as a hotspot.

My current iOS version is still 4.3.1    lazy to update to 4.3.3..

one more thing, did you enable location services for Maps in the Settings?

That's why people bought 3G version. Can have location without wifi

Yeap is on.. check and did everything I could.

I see a lot of people manage to get it fix after a reset. But some says it comes back after few days or a week. Not sure whats the problem.. hope Apple will fix this in the next update

some wifi doesnt' give out gps coordinate. try other wifi points.
like mine, doesn't work at my fiancee's home.

And so your point is? sell my wifi and get 3g? 

Since when WiFi gives out coordinate?

yes, they do. Not all though.

Google started building a global database of Wi-Fi routers in 2007, using its Street View cars and Android phones to improve cell phone location tracking. The Guardian's Charles Arthur writes, "The results of its giant Street View exercise in which it took pictures of houses and shops but also gathered locations of Wi-Fi networks and - oops! - collected data from open Wi-Fi networks has all been collated."

By checking a phone against a global database of Wi-Fi networks, the device's location can be determined (within 100 feet) without the need to enable a phone's GPS features. It's not just Google, either; Skyhook wireless started "wardriving" back in 2003 to build a similar database of Wi-Fi networks, which Apple used until launching its own service last year.

Once a car or phone finds a Wi-Fi network, it sends the router's BSSID/MAC address, signal strength, GPS coordinates and more back to Google. Researcher Samy Kamkar's new android map tool lets you use run those router-specific MAC addresses through Google's database. Kamkar explains on his blog, the tool "allows you to ping that database and find exactly where any wi-fi router in the world is located" -- you can usually find your router's MAC address in the device's administration tools. If Google has tracked your router, plugging it into android map will reveal its longitude, country, county, street and even postal code number.

Kamkar told The Register, "They're sending all your GPS coordinates. They know how fast you're traveling. Theres a unique identifier that's always sent." By analyzing the phone's location and ID, Kamkar argued that Google would easily be able to map where you work and live. After it was revealed last week that Google and Apple are tracking phone users' location data, both companies are under pressure from consumers, congressmen and privacy groups looking for answers as to how, why and when this data is being tracked and transmitted.

Are you sure? No way la...

people never listen and bother to search for articles.
that's why we always see same thread popping out or criticism after buying

lol i just dropped my ipad from knee high. gila. lucky no dent, no damage. because it slides off my comforter. scary!

some wifi doesnt' give out gps coordinate. try other wifi points.

I do read in some forum that someone said similar thing like you do. Here is the funny thing .. I had my friend's IPad 2 with me which is on 4.3.1 and it work on my home wifi whereas my 4.3.3 ipad 2 don't work. After I've updated it to 4.3.3 it is not working like mine..

@gogo2
