What !! You don't like being told to make u turns every time you start mapping. I have been having the same issue you note. The annoying tendency to tell me todo 2 uturns if I start my route say as I leave a red light is what got me into the Genius Bar.
Specifically my issues:
@Multiple U-turns suggested one for starting out on a route
@Launching the compass and comparing to every other phone in the world my heading north is off (short) by 30°
@ while driving and following my route often the directions are off just slightly when there are multiple on-ramp and offramp's from the freeway, my previous iPhone 6 never had a single issue in the same area on the same freeway with the same offramp's and on ramps.
@ iPhone 7 plus 128gig black. New may 23, 2017, setup as new phone.
The Genius Bar person was a little stumped after running all of the diagnostics which passed fine. The only symptom I could reproduce at the counter with her was the Compass heading being off by 30° The Genius Bar person was a little stumped after running all of the diagnostics which passed fine.

I was given a suggestion to fully erase the phone and see if the problem persists. However at this point 3 geniuses were looking at the phone and interested in the problem.

It was when we did this last settings toggle that my heading on the compass self corrected.

I also showed her this thread which underst I also showed her this message thread which she was not too interested in. I can appreciate the next step is to do a full Erase on my phone if the issue comes back.Settings, privacy, location services
