New to iPhone....why does my phone keep asking me to use current location for different applications? when i say yes, it pulls up the wrong location...It pulls up my old address, where I never even had an ATT account

Also, is there a way to make different photo albums

Do you live near your old address? The phone actually tries to use triangulation of cell phone towers, wifi, or GPS to locate you.

If you have wifi on, maybe your router's IP is somehow registering your old address?

As far as photo albums? Create them on your computer, not the phone.

Actually I live about 75 miles from my old house....I dont know what it could be...Could it be where I registered my iPod when I bought it?

go to google maps and ping yourself. Does the map show your current location or your old address?

Okay, its not asking me for my current location anymore when i open up maps....i hit the little "target" looking thing and it found my real location....i guess thats what you meant....why did "camera" always ask to use my current location?

are there any map updates? I am from New Orleans and they still have Katrina garbage and blue roofs in front of houses....Its really not like that anymore....lol....thanks for all of your help

Unfortunately, unless someone knows something I don't, Google Maps are terribly outdated. The satellite view shows the high school by my house as just beginning construction... it opened in 2003 after taking nearly two years to build. There is TONS of new development in my area; none of the streets are mapped.. kind of a pain.
