iPhone 8 GPS / Routing Inaccuracy
Same story as user “fruitypoundcake” (?) except I upgraded from iPhone 6S to iPhone 8.
I’ve noticed Google Maps (GM) does not interpret my position accurately, resulting in sudden diversions. This is particularly troubling whilst on the freeway where a recommended exit may result in a huge loss of time and dangerous scenarios where I have to triple check if the direction it’s taking me even makes sense.
On occasion GM interprets my GPS to be off by multiple lanes and can read as if I’m on surface streets when in reality I’m on the highway.
Not sure if it’s a hardware problem, an iOS problem or a GM software problem.
It’s important to note this also has happened with Apple Maps, although those issues seem to have been ameliorated with a recent iOS update.
