The iPhone’s GPS caused problems for a year, even though Apple did nothing about it. According to several users, There are problems with the iPhone’s GPS when connecting via CarPlay. The same, They cause GPS to completely interrupt navigation via Apple Maps, Google Maps, or any other navigation app.

According to the post shared on 9to5mac, many users have complained about this issue and confirmed that: It is not a problem specific to a particular car model.. Rather, it corresponds to a common bug that affects both wired and wireless CarPlay users.

iPhone GPS has become useless

Chance Miller, the author of the post and a victim of this flaw, states that the problem has been detected in several cases. For example:

• The GPS connection freezes completely and the update is stopped. The directional arrow stops moving and the map gets stuck. Turn-by-turn instructions are also disappearing, leaving drivers “lost” in the middle of the road with the risks inherent in the situation, such as going several kilometers from the destination.
• The GPS location is jumping and moving back and forth, and the turn-by-turn directions are misconfigured. Apple Maps gets confused and starts giving completely random directions, assuming the driver has deviated from the original route.
• The GPS location indicator changes according to the radius of the great circle. CarPlay assumes the car is somewhere in the circle but doesn’t know exactly where. And again, the step-by-step instructions are incorrectly structured.

According to information shared in various forums, the problem started with the release of iOS 16 last year, but errors continue even in iOS 17. The issues do not seem to be related to any iPhone model and Complaints come from iPhone XS users to iPhone 15 users.
