It was a lot of interference someone said my gps wouldn’t load for like 7 mins and then when it did it showed me coming from the woods and going right to my house I guess it fixed itself idk but it’s weird and never happened to me before
I read a lot of the posts and they’re fairly old but is there anyone still having gps problems even with the new updates? I did the other day kept saying I was completely some where else still fairly close to my house but not where I actually was, I contacted Apple and my cell provider and they just kept telling me there was no reason why it would be doing this I have never really used it other than driving places but it was sharing a location and I’m not familiar If it does this sometimes or what’s going on but it was very frustrating

Bought a brand new iPhone 8 Plus yesterday on iOS 11.4
Driving to work this morning Waze worked for about 5 min and dropped GPS connection. Location showed me across the river from where I was.
Tried google maps - same problem - location was off by quarter to half a mile probably
Cellular and wifi work differently to locate you. When you turn off wifi it says location accuracy will improve with wifi on. Cell towers approximate your location while wifi can pinpoint you exactly.
Are there a lot of trees or is it clear?
Yea I live right in front of woods
trees can cause interference sometimes.
If you have an issue, start your own thread.
