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!
This is still an ongoing issue since the last update. I live in the UK and the GPS seem to fall out of sync and then all you hear is ‘Proceed to the route’ several times until MAPS gets back into sync. I’ve made a couple of recordings of when this has happened so if you want them Apple let me know. I feel this needs to be escalated further as Apple are providing damaged goods.
Currently, my work around is just to turn off WiFi, when I want semi-accurate GPS data. This is a pretty crappy work around though. Back in March/April timeframe the Apple engineer that was working my case said they were aware of the problem and would patch SW, but several updates later and my GPS data is still not usable. Very frustrating! ☹️
Interesting... had Apple Support do a diagnostic on my iPhone 11 GPS last week and they said "there is no issue with the hardware". When I mentioned that there were a number of complaints about the GPS he said they "were not aware of any problems with the GPS... it must be the software".
You're right, very frustrating! 😡
The only way for anything to be done about this GPS problem is to bombard Apple Support with queries. They do not read the community posts. If they did they would see all of these queries instead of saying that they are not aware of the problem!
The official way to get Apple Support's help is to of course contact them directly, as we are all just users here.
Ssame for XS max with IOS 13.
I have this problem too. See this track from Guru Maps Pro:
But my iPhone 8 not a "pro" model has a better view of the sky? Ridiculous it has a perfect view of the sky and still shows me moving at 1mph and the course is so erratic it just keeps calculating.
please, don’t say this is normal or acceptable! Never had this in my previous iPhone SE.
Here is yet another app sowing the SAME GPS problems I am sitting still with a clear view of the sky!!
for me the same on my 11 pro , iOS 13
