Hi i am using my I phone 6 after upgrading to latest os update 11.2.2,11.2.5, all these version I am facing issues while using google maps after picking the destiny when I hit start it will start and stop and the arrow point is not moving from the starting point I try to reinstall the maps a lot of times but still facing the issue
iPhone 6, iOS 11.2.5
I have an iPhone 6, Google Maps periodically would give me issues after an app update or an iOS update where I would have to delete it and re install it in order for it to function properly. It would usually have problems with triangulation of where I am on the map, actively tracking my movement, and failure to keep the compass straight (either the arrow or the map itself would spin wildly).
Sometime around June 2018 Google Maps, Waze and Apple Maps all started to exhibit this problem and deleting and reinstalling and/or rebooting didn’t solve it. Based on the suggestions found in this thread, I did the following and it eventually rectified the problems:
-Rebooted
-Deleted and reinstalled Google Maps
-Deleted and reinstalled the Compass app
-Re-calibrated the iPhone compass by going into privacy settings and turning on and off the location based compass setting switch
-Setting the compass options to “true north”
I may or may not have done those in that order, and I may have done some more than once but eventually, Google Maps started functioning properly again (and frankly better than it has in a few years I think, it seems to be much more snappy on turns and quicker to call out upcoming turns, etc.).
I hope this helps somebody else having this problem, as I didn’t really want to have to upgrade my phone to use Google Maps again, and I use it for EVERYTHING (best innovation of the past century)!!!
Good luck all!
Well, if this is a problem with the iPhone X to the same degree that it is on the 6 and 6S that’s a MAJOR problem. I expect that Apple will be more likely to fix it on a phone that they’re currently selling and supporting than they are a three generation old, practically unsupported model.
I haven’t tested it thoroughly, but iOS update 11.4.1 (15G77) that came through Monday fixed GPS triangulation on my iPhone 6S. It very well may be a temporary effect from an update state so
I’ll report back in a week or so of daily usage to let everyone know if it works or if it breaks again.
I didn't worked for me.
I reinstalled the COMPASS APP (seems it got uninstalled because it wasn’t getting used). And everything works fine!
