Location Services not working.

I am not able to use location service on my MacBook Pro M2 (Maps, Find My, etc.) even though I have turned on every location services in Privacy & Security. How do I fix this...

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 13.5

Do you mean that Location Services cannot locate your Mac?

That is normally because there are no Wi-Fi access points around you that Apple knows the location. macOS triangulates its position from the signals from Wi-Fi access points around it. If none of the ones around you are in Apple’s position database, it can’t locate itself.

Does it work in other locations?
