Q: iPhone 7 GPS isnt working normally

Ive noticed that the GPS on my iPhone 7 recently started to act strangely. When I use an app like Waze, Google Maps or Apple Maps, it seems to have difficulty locking on to my location. If im driving in a car, it will briefly lock on to the road and the direction im headed but will quickly move off by several blocks in different directions. It seems to be worse if I have wifi disabled for some reason. This was working just fine a few days ago. Im running iOS 10.0.3 and use AT&T for cellular. Anyone else having this issue or know if an iOS update might resolve it?

    I've been experiencing the same problem. Bought my IPhone 7 in NY on 19 September and brought it to Brazil. GPS was working nicely on the first days, but suddenly it started doing the same thing, just like Erik Cronin described. This started before IOS 10.0.3.

     

    Impossible to use any GPS related apps.
