When I put in "show my location" (in Melbourne) then it shows the pin in America (Simulator address :-)) How can I change that. Anybody an idea? Thank you Title Comments I put in four addresses in Melbourne Australia and the map shows them correct.

Hope that helps. Comments When you fire up the SIM go to Debug>Location>Custom Location and enter your own details as opposed to Apple HQ. Hope that helps.

If you're running the new version, give it a shot. A bit easier than the old method... https://dl.dropbox.com/u/115208762/DummyLoc.png Cheers! -- Smug Comments The 'new' Xcode (4.6.1) will also allow you to keep a few locations in a GPX File to use as 'dummy' locations during testing.

If thats the case, I had this issue about a month ago, try going through your data and looking for long/lat's that don't look right, I had to remove 6 locations and my maps have worked since!

It shows the location of the simulator (Amerika) @Smug I tried that out and changed it to Australia, but it doesn't save it.
