I just picked up a refurbished iPhone 11 Pro.
I like everything about it except for the GPS! It’s terrible!!! No matter which app I use. It lags, freezes and goes haywire trying to get back on track. Is it the software or just the phone itself? I use lots of tracking features for work and play.
Any suggestions? I don’t want to replace it, but I might need to.

Thanks for posting in the Apple Support Communities Archerman1160,
The following information might be useful in regard to the accuracy of GPS:
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.
