it may be a problem with your GPS or your internet connection.

if your internet connection is working fine, try some gps applications such as GPS STATUS, GPS TESTetc. to see whether your gps is able to connect to satellites or not.

Make sure your internet connection is working fine. Keep data ON. Then start google maps. It will locate you even if GPS is off.

In fact location should work even if GPS and DATA is OFF. It used to work in my sony ericsson phone. Now you need to keep DATA ON when you start up GMaps.
