iOS 8.4 GPS Issue

I updated to iOS 8.4 and now my GPS isn't getting data quickly, when using Maps or Waze for directions it take so long to figure out where it's at it's pretty much useless. Anyone else having this issue?

iPhone 6, iOS 8.4

I had the same issue but it seems much better after having disabled Location Services entirely, hard rebooting the phone, and then re-enabling Location Services after the reboot. GPS navigation was far improved on my way to work this morning than it was on my way home last night. Tested using Google Maps, Waze, and Apple Maps and all seemed better this morning.

Toggling Location Services off, restarting, then turning them back on didn't work for me at first. But the following did resolve this for me (with Waze and other apps):

1. Close all running apps (double tab home button and swipe up on each app)

2. Settings > Privacy > Location Services > Off

3. Power off

4. Power on

5. Settings > Privacy > Location Services > On
