Has anyone else noticed any recent issues with their GPS accuracy on their 11 Pro or maybe even iOS 13. I can’t tell if it’s because it’s a new phone or the updated iOS but it seems when using map apps my gps location keeps moving around a lot when I’m stationary and it can’t seem to get a fixed location. Also seems it’s a bit off to the north about 20-30ft.
iPhone 11 Pro Max
Hey DexterII,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities! I definitely depend on Maps to work as expected, and I want to make sure you're able to depend on that as well! I am happy to provide some information and tips for resolving issues with Maps.
Based on the information you shared, I believe the resource below will be helpful in troubleshooting this Maps/GPS concern.
If the Maps app isn't working your Apple Device
Thanks again, and have a great day!
redmonk78, what did GPSdiagnostic tell you?
And it is essential that GPS data be filtered since you sometimes get spurious data. I am sure that major map applications do that.
I have not tested it yet and to be honest: what is the advantage of the tool? It will not improve my GPS data. It’s just a measuring tool which shows me what I already know.
Then your phone is accurate, and the problem is with the hiking app. End of story.
It's definitely not "just that simple". I've had problems with Apple Maps, Waze, and Google Maps. I'm going to take a look at GPS Diagnostics the next time it's giving me bad directions.
redmonk78, it may be annoying but in the end makes ZERO difference. Come on, focus on real issues.
kerrybtx, have you talked to Apple? Be insistent, and get your phone replaced. For others with iPhone 11 or Pro google maps works fine.
William, kerrybtx is talking about way more feet than that. He says it is off by blocks in the car. That phone should be replaced.
redmonk78, you still refuse to accept that GPS has a certain accuracy. You measured that with GPSdiagnostic and it was fine. If you still want to complain...
Does it have a full view of the sky?
GPS is a satellite signal and by definition reception in a car is compromised.
By the way: iOS 13.5 does not fix the GPS problem. Signal still goes crazy if standing still (tested at shown accuracy of +/- 16 feet)
I have the Pro Max and I'm not seeing this behavior. Either send your iPhone in or wait until your local Apple Store opens and have it checked.
redmonk78, if you zoom way in, how much is it jumping? If it is +- 16 feet then there is no problem.
You want the phone to provide more accurate GPS than the US Government says it should have. Good luck with that.
I want the phone to work at least as accurate as my previous 6S
