Hello,

if no GPS and no data connection are available or the signal of surrounding cell towers is bad, the device can only use the one cell tower it is logged into to determine the location.
try again outdoors and/or with a working data connection.

also: we use a google data base of cell towers and wifi's to determine the position. in rare cases the data base isn't 100% accurate.
