Q: iOS 10 GPS bug?

Hi everyone,

 

I have just updated an iPhone 6s, 6 and 2x 5s to iOS 10. All worked and works well, seeing that some are having trouble updating, I thought I might add that. The only problem I have is with GPS and it appears to be a pattern. Let me explain.

After the update, my location on Apple Maps is way off. There difference varies between a few meters and a few kilometers. This is noticed by other apps as well, google maps, Navigon and Here all show the same problem. Trails and Easytrails confirm these findings. Again this happens on all 4 phones!!

 

In the meantime, I have tried downgrading, restore, reinstall w/ and w/o DFU mode and the error does not go away.

I will report this issue to Apple asap, but would like to raise it here as well, to see if I am the only person with that problem.

 

Any feedback is much appreciated.

 

Regards,

tronicIO

    Same problem here. It started about a month ago when I downloaded the beta version. At first it woudl still load the GPS coordinate accurately, but when i would "start route" then it just would stop, and it wouldn't follow me down the road. It wasn't solved in any of the betas for me. Now my GPS location is WAY off by about 1/4 of a mile when I pull up my "current location" and it just says "GPS not available" when i try to start any routes.

    Hi there,

    Same problem here I always use Google Maps and since the newest update I have the same problems mentioned above. I've tried the Maps app and Waze but still having the same issue. Thanks for the info about downgrading, was going to try that but now I won't.

     

    Apple, please fix this ASAP!
