Find My Iphone

Isn’t FMI cool? We’ve all read or seen stories where a victim of theft becomes intrepid hero by tracking their stolen baby.

ABC set out Ipads as TSA bait, and it worked beautifully.

Then again, there are some accuracy problems

I can talk to my wife or kids and know their exact location, yet FMI can show them pinpointed a mile or more away. Not a center spot with a shaded circle of possibility, but a singular incorrect point.

Which brings us to my question. Have any Dopers encountered this problem like I have, and more importantly, have you found a solution?

As usual, the Mac forums and others have ideas galore, but I have yet to actually find the answer. Many point to a software issue, but I can’t chase them all down.

How 'bout help a brotha out?

The best part about FMi is that I can make it ding so that I can find it in the couch cushions. I don’t have my wife’s password, so I can’t track her.
