Wrong Location?

Hi folks

I was hoping someone might be able to help since yesterday I have had a problem with my phone. I have a moto g and every things seems to have been fine but since yesterday my location keeps saying I'm at my previous address which I moved from a month ago. I have tried everything to rectify this including turning the location services off and on, Changing how it finds my location. I've even tried resetting my phone to factory default but it still says I'm in my previous town. This is becoming a bit of a nightmare as I use quite a few apps that rely on my location. I'm not sure weather it may be related but I did have my wifi which i used at my previous address activated at my new address yesterday and am now using it on the phone. Can anyone possibly offer some advice?

It's probably because Google hasn't updated their WiFi address database yet so it still thinks your WiFi router is at your old address. Have you tried going to location settings and changing the mode to "device only"? Try this then see if Maps reports the right location.
