iPhone 16 Pro GPS isn't working.

I upgraded from a iPhone 11 to a 16 Pro and ever since I'm unable to use GPS effectively. It only seems to refresh when I have my phone unlocked. YES, I have allowed the phone to be used for CarPlay when locked in the settings. I checked both the car settings and phone settings and nothing else seems to apply. Not sure what has changed as I was on iOS 18 just fine on the 11 using my GPS. I'm afraid it might be a hardware issue. Anyone experience this?

iPhone 16 Pro, iOS 18

I have the same exact problem. I upgraded from the mini 12 to the iPhone 16 and both Maps and Google Maps are practically useless. It always thinks I’m on some other road. I now have to buy a gps for my vehicle.

very disappointed! Apple needs to address and fix this stat!

Same here. But since ios18 gps is bad. Iphone 13 was working perfect on 17. After update to 18 issues started. Now with my new iPhone 16 same issues... Totally not accurate

SAME PROBLEM. GPS on google maps is laggy and can't track my location as my iphone 11 did.

I also upgraded to the 16 Pro and my GPS cuts out if I receive an incoming telephone call or text while I’m using it. Why haven’t they come up with a fix yet?
