Can otterbox case affect iphone 12 gps signal?

A lot of the times when I use my phone for navigation it just repeatedly re-navigates even if I am going the right way. Even in places where I have good signal.

iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 14

Apple CarPlay GPS not giving correct location When using CarPlay in my 2020 Sentra with my iPhone 12 Pro Max, the GPS location while navigating with maps gives very delayed location. For example, if I am approaching an on-ramp or off-ramp, it will not give me the directions I need in time due to the location being inaccurate. I have done troubleshooting, and the navigation works fine when it is not plugged into CarPlay, and the CarPlay navigation also works fine when using my mom’s iPhone 11. My 12 Pro Max is running the latest iOS and has been restarted

iPhone 14 Pro GPS doesn’t work My phone’s GPS doesn’t work properly. When I check it on the map, I always seem to be moving in a 200 meter circle and the navigation updates every 2-3 minutes. I've reset the phone to factory settings 3 times and still not resolved. I wanted to ask before returning it, does anyone else have this problem?

I have this issue on my Android work phone.

It happens whenever I hit a bump or dip in the road.

The accelerometer triggers, phone thinks I have jumped off the freeway onto the feeder road.

The plastic OtterBox case should not interfere with a radio signal.
