Hello Michael,

Location is determined by a number of factors, one of which is Cell tower 
triangulation. 
Depending on landscape, building materials, etc. the triangulation may not be 
entirely accurate and can sometimes be off by many kilometres .
Another factor is proximity to known WiFi networks. Since the database of WiFi 
networks is not updated in real-time, this can also often be incorrect.

Depending on your device and available services, Location Services uses a 
combination of cellular, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS to determine your location. 
If you're not within a clear line of sight to GPS satellites, your device can 
determine your location using crowd-sourced Wi-Fi and cell tower locations or 
iBeacons.

Cheers,
Ronni

Re: Find iPhone

[Michael Hawkins]

Dear All,

I found my missing iPhone SE in a storage locker which is below ground level in 
a three story concrete building a tad over 4km away from where Apple’s find my 
iphone app reported the phone to be. As you may recall, the app identified the 
middle of the neighbour’s lawn as being where the phone was. I had never set 
foot on the property until I went looking for the phone, so do not understand 
why the app said it was there. And given that I have the keys to the storage 
locker, the phone can not have been left there by anybody other than me.

Cheers

Michael.
