Anybody else have any GPS or Cell Service issues? Was playing Pokémon Go and checking my maps, and it wasn't keeping up with my movement, then would lose GPS signal. Obviously it's a beta, but didn't see any reports from other people on this. Just did a DFU restore back to 11.4 to double check it's not a hardware issue out of nowhere.
Got a tip for us?

GPS Issues?

I'm having the same issues. When using the maps app for directions it gets hung up and loses me altogether sometimes. The only real bug that I've reported so far
I use Google maps daily for my commute to/from work and have had no issues, even re-routing around traffic.
However RunKeeper it can't get a decent fix, even in wide open country. I've tried using it when running yesterday and today.
Yesterday it locked on 2miles in but then said my run was 2 miles shorter than it was. Today it went the other way and 5 mins in said I'd ran 3.9miles (I wish!) so I stopped using it.
Fortunately my Suunto watch has built in GPS so was able to track the runs fine.

I can't seem to get accurate fixed in Google maps or Apple maps. Also the only real problem I've had . iPhone 7 plus
i didnt i done OTA update im thinking i might have to go back to 11.4 as gps is a huge deal for me its a shame cos the beta is running so well
No issues here with the X (did not do a clean install). I used GPS with CarPlay and it worked like always. Also, no CarPlay issues either.
So I do get a location in maps which isn't far off but it's to within 100m not say 10m . Compass looks fine. So it half works. Not tried a network reset yet
My GPS initially did that. It was off, but as soon as I started moving it fixed itself.
That's what I tried, still off/on unfortunately. Also having weird Cell Issues, random no connectivity even with showing 2-3 bars of LTE. But that's the nature of the beast with the beta software.
Location on my 6S seems OK, TomTom GO & Maps both navigate fine. However I'm not seeing a map in the Activity app after a run with either phone paired GPS, or purely on my Apple Watch 3 (still on 4.3.2) with phone Wifi/Bluetooth disabled. Anyone else see the same issue?

Yes, I did on my iPhone X but w/o success. Currently I do a full ITunes restore to 12 beta 1 and will test the navigation tomorrow.
