IOS 9.0.1 GPS not working

I'm also having this same problem since upgrading to iOS 9. Even the internal Compass app doesn't have very good GPS accuracy and bounces all over the place.

I'm having the same problem and It's rather dangerous, having trouble traveling while navigating in big cities, taking turns into wrong parts of town. I had to revert back to a list of turn by turn directions, but my GPS is not calibrated correctly clearly, it always states im about a quarter mile away, doesnt matter what app im using, I have done a hard reset, messed with gps location settings to no avail.

Same problem here after updating my iPhone 6. Restoring in Recovery Mode or DFU mode does not fix the problem.

I was having the same issue. I just backed up my phone, reset back to original and then restored my backup. GPS works again

I am having the same issue. Waze, Apple Maps, Google Maps, and Nike Running App do not work. I was at Apple Store and they claim

it's an iOS issue and should be fixed with an update. Also spoke to my cellular carrier who are aware of the issue and that it's an apple issue.

Hi. I'm having exactly the same. Intermittent GPS signal, Waze working one minute then saying "NO GPS" the next, Google and Apple Map locations are not accurate or show a huge radius where I could be, Waze will not plan or start a route, I could go on.

No subsequent update has fixed it. I've done the following to no avail:-

1 - Turned off locations Services followed by hard reset, then turned them back on.

2 - Network Settings Reset.

3 - Returned phone to factory defaults via iTunes then tested GPS

4 - Restored phone with backup stored on iTunes (Cloud backup stopped working the day of the iOS 9 update!!)

None of these have fixed the issue. These were all suggested by the Apple rep on the support line! I'm off to the Genius Bar tomorrow. This should be a free of charge repair or replacement considering its Apple's iOS update has effectively buggered up the GPS.

How did it go at Genius Bar?

HI.

Got my appointment this afternoon at 4pm GMT. I'll let you know.

kind regards

HI. Went to the Genius Bar. Explained the situation and all the solutions I tried. Because I called within 5 days of my warranty expiring in the first instance the advisor was very nice and spoke to apple and agreed to replace my phone Even though I was less than 5 days over my warranty period.

all sorted with a replacement phone which I have now restored and the gps is working fine. Hope you all get similar results from Apple.

Im having the same problem with my iphone 6. All the apps using the GPS gets very bad GPS accuracy. I used Sensor Log App to check the accuracy the maximum horizontal accuracy which comes up is 65meters.

Did anyone ever find a solution to this? I went to the Genius Bar today, they suggested a new phone but I'm just out of warrenty hence this will cost over £200. I'm unwilling to pay this for what is seemingly a software bug.

When I was at Genius Bar they didn't recommend me getting the out of warranty replacement. They said they believe it's an iOS issue and it should be fixed. Spoke to my phone carrier also and they said they were aware of this issue and believe it's an iOS issue. Problem is no one seems to know when it will be fixed.

This only worked once....still have issue

As my fix above didn't work...I went to the Genius Bar...their suggestion was pay $299 for a new device, even though the hardware diagnostics said all was good. When I said that's crazy, I was then told to wait for the next iOS update, it's probably software. They seem to have no idea.

When the issue first occurred (with iOS 9.0) my phone was in warranty, since waiting for iOS 9.1, my phone is now out of warranty. Pretty annoyed.

I will continue to wait for another software update........

I had this same problem and consulted with other people in my company that did not have the problem and back traced what I did that they did not do.... Our IT department recommended turning off "Wi-Fi assist" in an attempt to lower the data usage. When I turned Wi-Fi assist back on, all my GPS problems went away and my GPS now works perfectly again. Go to settings, then cellular and then way at the bottom of the cellular setting is an option for WI-FI Assist... I bet yours is slid over to the left (not green). Slide it to the right and go take a drive!
