iPhone 7 GPS constantly changing in Maps

Ask for a replacement, 500 mtrs wrong is just ridiculous.

I complain a lot here because my iPhone 7 (including original and all three replacement phones) is not suitable for running because of subpar GPS. But even if it's significantly less accurate than my iPhone 5 or 6, it's almost never more than 50 meters off, usually much less.

Yesterday I discovered that the newest version of Runkeeper seems to be much better at adapting to the subpar GPS than earlier versions and other running apps, so I might simply solve this problem by starting to run with Runkeeper.

Did anyone else have more luck with recent Runkeeper versions? I remember someone posted terrible tracks with Runkeeper earlier in the thread.

Also got my iPhone 7 Plus replaced.

(Reason was a clicking screen on 3D Touch that they weren't able to fix by replacing the screen, so they replaced my device)

GPS is just as bad.

Navigation on Google Maps and Apple Maps is still alright. Quite accurate during navigation. The occasional little shake. Usable.

Tracking my runs is a disaster.

Strava records 1-2 km extra and ruins my pace. It thinks I'm way too fast because the GPS position is jumping around up to 50m during the entire run.

Hi

I still think (hope) this is software related as it is working sometimes... If it was a bad hardware i don't think it would act this way.

Lets see if apple does not release a new Software in the beginning of 2017

Happy new year to all of you 🙂

No, that doesn't help. I've tried turning off both Bluetooth and Wifi, no change.

Hi

Happy new year 🙂

I agree, it does not change anything.

Apple repaired my iphone7 (change of battery) and, what should I say, the gps issue seems to be gone as well!?!

My iPhone7 is replaces by a new one. Now it's working fine again, pfffff.

Run to apple before the mandated 1 year manufacturer warranty expires. After that it will be 299$ for a replacement or they will ask to buy one new. It's a software problem.

Hmm, I've exchanged mine three times without any improvement. But maybe they have changed the hardware now?

Exactly my issue. Verizon, Texas, GPS all over the place. Very painful. Thanks for your help.

I hear this is a Verizon issue on Texas and other locations. And expecting a patch. Who is your carrier?

The recommendation of the hotline to reset the phone and restore it from my backup didn't fix the problem. So I will see Genius Bar this afternoon and hope they will provide a solution.

I'd like to see an iPhone 7 older than 1 year

I have an issue where when I'm in Maps my blue GPS location points in the wrong direction? Anyone else? (iPhone 7)

This thread seems to have flatlined ... has everyone gotten replacement phones that work OK? Have you found other solutions?
