iOS, ip7+ or me? - gps issues

[Applegeeky]

Hi all

I just upgraded from ip6 plus. I notice my gps now fluctuates from time to time. Anyone having this issue?

you're not alone my 7 Plus has been doing the same thing.

Dreads. I hope this not some GPSgate. I hate it when a "perfect" phone has issues.

Do you think if it would be a software issue ? Am thinking if GPS is spoilt. There should be no lock at all ?

Any GPS receiver can do that as it locks on to more/different GPS satellites.

I agree. But this is a little weird. Sometimes it is consistently off by a distance. My ip6 plus seldom had that issue. I change to ios10 and ip7 plus at the same time so am quite clueless who is the culprit here ..
