GPS Navigation Issues post upgrade to iOS 11

Hi,

I use google maps to navigate and have been using it for the last two years without any problems. Post the iOS 11 upgrade the navigation has stopped working. Infact the navigation has stopped working even on my fitness apps wherein the device is unable to connect to the GPS at all. The initial location is accurately identified but when I change to navigate mode the screen is stuck on the starting point and does not move with the car.

I tried resetting the location, device and even did a reinstall but the problem persists.

Is this an issue just with me or is this a larger issue with iOS 11. Any help to overcome navigation issues will be appreciated as I need navigation for my day to day work.

I spoke to Apple care today as I use an iphone x on IOS 11.1 and was asked to toggle “background app refresh” to " on " for wifi and cellular data, which I did. This solved the GPS problem with maps and google maps not following me as I drove. Both maps app’s now work. They explained that when restored from Itunes from my iphone 7 IOS 10 to my new phone there was a software glitch and the location services weren’t updated. These have now been refreshed with turning this “ on”. I have put this “ off “ again as it uses lots of battery and data when apps keep checking for new info.

The compass app reports a lat/long along with elevation when connected to Verizon on LTE.

Waze says no gps for example
