Same issues here. Missed loads of raids in Pokémon Go because I could not get the GPS to put me next to the gym.
Got a tip for us?

GPS Issues?

It looks fixed. Mine would initially be a little off until I started driving for maybe 2-3 minutes and then it would lock on. I need more than one try to officially confirm, but GPS locked on right away and gave accurate directions.
I checked briefly (not an extensive test, to be sure) and Waze seems to be working without issue. Other GPS functions are also working as expected, but I'll know more after a drive home tonight.
Not fixed after more testing.
Edit: using Apple maps on iPhone X with AT&T. It still takes GPS a few minutes into the trip to “lock on” to my location. On my commute home I was still a few streets off from my actual location for the first few minutes.

Not working iPhone X for waze, maps and google maps. Still showing inaccurate location. Tried taking out sim, reboot and reputting in too.
Seems to be different for different people. In beta one, I would frequently get an initial lock and then it would lose my location as time went on. It got so bad this morning that I had to reboot the phone. However, after installing beta two, it has been locking on immediately and staying locked on, admittedly for only about a 5 mile trip, as well as random attempts this evening from a fixed location.
All those who are are having GPS issues. Are you using a model with Intel or Qualcomm modem? I assume this is an Intel modem issue
Settings>General>About>Model and tap right on the long model number which will give you 5 digit model number that will correspond to https://www.apple.com/iphone/LTE/
CDMA/GSM - Qualcomm
GSM - Intel
AT&T/T-Mobile - Intel
Sprint/Verizon - Qualcomm
SIM-free - Qualcomm
Same Intel Apple probably released the modem for Qualcomm variant as it is their unlocked version which might explains why the Intel variant doesn't get a lock.
Runkeeper is still all over the place. It was so bad today that I stopped it after 10mins of my run as it said I’d covered 10km!
I did do just over 10km but it took me 52mins as I’m running at 1000m ASL in 34Deg C. I wish I could run 10km in 10mins!
I did a clean install of Beta 2 from the .ipsw and also reinstalled Runkeeper. But still didn’t solve it.
