Accuracy IPhone 14 Pro GPS (Dual Frequency GPS L1 + L5)

Hello everyone,

I heard the IPhone has this beautifull new technology, the dual frequency GPS which makes your GPS way more accurate.

But when i try to test this, it doesn't seem to be much better than an older IPhone that uses only the L1 technology.

I would like to hear your thoughts or ideas about this.

Best regards,

"Improve GPS accuracy

GPS accuracy depends on the number of visible GPS satellites. Locating all visible satellites can take several minutes, with accuracy gradually increasing over time. To improve GPS accuracy:

Make sure that you've set the date, time, and time zone correctly on the device in Settings > General > Date & Time. If possible, use Set Automatically.
Keep a clear view in several directions. Walls, vehicle roofs, tall buildings, mountains, and other obstructions can block line of sight to GPS satellites. When this happens, your device uses Wi-Fi or cellular networks to determine your position until the GPS satellites are visible again."
