GPS issue in the car gets crazy and unreliable first and last Apple product that will ever have

Hello


I have an problem with the GPS of the iPhone SE 2nd with Waze and or any other GPS app sometimes gets crazy when does redirections and redirect me to not logical routes like inside a tunnel exit to a not existant exit which if somebody trust in the phone logic would wreck against a concrete wall, or in a junction of two expressways the GPS don't know what of both take and when decide what to take don't realize where I got and redirect me to the other road but can't get there since both are separated by highway elements and the GPS also in City is so unreliable that made me get in another place instead of the place should be and it's strange there behavior never with any Android phone had any of such GPS problems what could be? I have reset the phone and haven't tried again such situations since nobody likes to be testing to get lost and losing time and wasting gasoline , my big question is the problem is an defective hardware in the phone or anything else I need a quick answer since the next Saturday the warranty expires


Best regards



iPhone SE, iOS 14

As it is still under warranty you should contact Apple Support to have it checked.

All my iPhones have been correct at all times using Apple Maps within metres of the position, but if any navigation app sends you the wrong way there should be a method of sending them corrections.

If you are using Apple CarPlay and the car has its own GPS chip then one can override the other and give false positioning, and in that case you should use the phone standalone on a cradle.

It has the car a GPS the car stereo but can't do anything to disable it and I find absurd that the iPhone get the GPS data of my car stereo , some cars don't come with the cartography of the maps and even the Android phones don't do the thing that do the iPhone so don't really know of anyway need to get checked professionally since also with my phone operator don't get VOLTE and never shown up LTE but only 4G and doubt out do carrier aggregation the phone.
