Apple Maps freezes on CarPlay

On numerous occasions, CarPlay freezes while using Apple Maps, leaving the screen minutes and miles behind the vehicle location. Stopping the car and unplugging the phone always instantly restores maps to functionality with current location and directions. Any one else with this problem; or any suggestions? Thanks. 6S Plus running 9.2.1 in new 2016 Corvette.

I have the same issue on a 2017 Ford Explorer, it worked fine until I up-dated to an iphone 7 plus running latest ios10. Apple maps works while moving, but when I stop, for less than a minute, the map freezes. When I start to move again it stays where I last stopped. I have to touch the location icon on the display screen for it to start working again. Also, when I first go into maps, I see the entire USA and a little tri-angle in the stat i'm in. I have to hit the + on the screen to zoom in to what I want. Never had to do that before. This is very frustrating as it happens everytime! Why bother having a map feature that doesn't work...

I have been having this same problem. I have a 7 plus, running IOS 10.2. I've rebooted, changed the cable, even deleted and reinstalled the Maps app. Still no resolve. The issue always seems to occur when you're stopped at a stop light for instance. The car location will turn to a solid dot and move to the center of the screen. When you start moving again, the marker for your car changes to an arrow and just moves off the map and the map doesn't follow or refresh on it's own. I thought there might be a firmware update for my Alpine iLX-007, but nothing is listed on their website. This map refresh issue was working with a previous IOS version, although I don't remember which one...probably a version of 9.X
