I have problems with my iPhones gps to locate satellites using Waze, NAVIGO and maps all having the same problem. Use to have a 4, 4s, 5, 5s, 6 now 6S and during the same line of travel I have never lost contact with satellites. I'm currently running iOS 9.1. I have restarted, re installed, re booted. But get the same result. Do you have any good tips on what to do?

iPhone 6s, iOS 9.1
Hello, I tested SWITCH-OFF LTE and GPS is OK, somebody else with this experience?
I Switched off and problem was same. Lost gps 😟
Same Problem here... i have a iPhone 6s and my wife a iPhone 6. After gps lost we startet both navi Software on iPhone. The iPhone 6s lost the gps a lot of times but the iPhone 6 does not lose is.
Maybe a Hardware Problem ?
I tried to switch LTE off, maybe GPS signal perception is a little bit better, but not so good as on my previous iPhones was... The next problem I see is the angle of my view when I want to see it. Look at the picture. It takes a long time until the angle of view narrows... I am also from Czech Republic, T-Mobile is my telephone signal provider.
SAME PROBLEM WITH MY 6S IN BELGIUM WITH "BASE" NETWORK IN 4G 1800MHZ
ANY PROBLEM IN 3G NETWORK
ANY PROBLEM IN 4G WITH MY OTHER PHONE "iphone 6" PROBLEM ONLY WITH 6S
In France we also have this problem of GPS interference on iPhone 6S/6S+. This for now only happens with mobile operators that use specific frequencies for 4G network. If you search for "4G GPS interference" you'll see it's not a new fact ...
A temporary solution is to set the iPhone in 3G when you use your GPS, otherwise GPS signal goes on and off for any application after 15 or 30 min (iOS 9.0 or 9.1).
Some people reinstalled the iPhone or made an exchange of the iPhone, but this was useless.
No solution has been given to us for now, mobile operators have reported the problem to Apple but we don't have any more information.
as posted before same Problem here ... for Information in Germany with o2 Carrier ...
I tried navigation with LTE off again, and it really seems much better.
Me too 😉 off LTE = good gps 😉 i hope, that ios 9.1.1 repair it 😉
I have the same problem! I already realized it with iOS 9.0.2. Mostly the GPS works fine for a while and then messes up more and more until it gets totally stuck. When i start in a foreign city it will probably not work from start on. I went into worst trouble because of this. I drove 2 fast through a photo radar while freakin out and I was hours late several times because I didn't realize missing multiple exits on the Autobahn. Now I have to carry iPhone 6 along with my iPhone 6s for navigation. Very annoying and ridiculous. I dont want to move back to my iPhone 6.

Try turn off LTE before drive.
It seems to be very specific to LTE (4G+) 1800Mhz. It is nice to read in this forum that it is not specfic to France. In France, only Bouygues Telecom delivers 18000Mhz and uniquely. Other Iphone6s connected to an Orange or Free sim card are working fine according to many discussions since a month now (http://forums.macg.co/threads/perte-localisation-gps-iphone-6s-plus.1271312/page -16) because they don't use the band 3 1800Mhz. These French operators will deliver 1800Mhz next January!
Without any clear explanation neither from Bouygues (http://forum.bouyguestelecom.fr/questions/968426-iphone-6s-perte-gps-b-you) nor from Apple, I returned my Iphone 6s to the Apple Store where I bought it (you have 15 days to return it in Paris). After having my money back, they said that Apple, as it did in the past for similar problem, will call back the wrong Iphone 6s if it is a hardware problem. Nice to hear that. I hope that it would be solved by software for those who can't get it back.
If you want to know if you are connected with 1800MHz 4G, you can, for France, see a very detailed map from the Agence national des fréquences and a new app name cartoradio (https://itunes.apple.com/fr/app/cartoradio-mobile/id694622086?mt=8) or on the web at the URL http://www.antennesmobiles.fr/index.php?geo&show
I don't know if such very precise maps are available (and authorized) in other countries but we would appreciate to know for other countries where 1800Mh is available like Italy for example.
German site confirm problems of other users too.

Hi,
Talked to apple support and they think its a hardware problem so I'm heading to the apple store for a check
/E
I still think its hardware related and not only IOS 9.1
I re-installed my iPhone 6 with the IOS 9.1 backup made with iPhone 6S. This iPhone 6 works perfect!
Though it could be some specific chip programming that only relates to iPhone 6S GPS, and therefore changeable by software upgrades?
