iOS 14 Maps Lag?

[sonnenhund]

We were driving home last night, using iOS 14 Maps for the first time (on CarPlay with the wife's iPhone 8).

There was a noticeable lag between the location where Maps said we were and where we _really_ were. Our position displayed on the map was probably 250 meters behind our current actual position, and this was while going 50 kilometers per hour (about 30 MPH).

This is always a little tricky, but Maps in iOS 13 was nowhere near as inaccurate as this.

I had issues like this yesterday.

I was heading up to St Andrews and I knew a "better" route. CarPlay totally lost it, had us going backwards, took minutes to update.

Then driving through to Glasgow to my partner's using it to send her an ETA, again it just stuck and had a turn off I knew was coming up in less than a mile as 2.8 miles away... It never caught up and in the end CarPlay crashed.

In fact, the first time I used it last week it crashed before completing the journey.

This was on iPhone XS via CarPlay on G30 BMW 3 series using the public release of iOS14.

Our experience wasn't anywhere near as bad as that, but was bad enough that we missed some important turns and ended up taking much longer than we should have.

And these issues seem to be iOS14 related, as this didn't happen in iOS13.

Not sure, didn’t have as many issues before.

Came over to Glasgow tonight and it crashed again.

it just stops updatinag and then crashes out.

pretty much crashed every single time I have used it.

I’ve rebooted and downloaded the new update so let’s see what happens when I head back on Saturda.

This happened to me but with Google Maps, not Apple Maps.

Good luck, I'd be interested to see what happens.

Interesting, it could be something going on with the GPS/cellular location stuff the OS itself does, not the navigation apps themselves...
