    iPhone 16e 16e Compass weirdness?

    So I've had two 16e's and both behaved the same way, and it's been awhile since I've had an iPhone that did this. It's not a huge deal, but in apps that use GPS, I've noticed the arrow being off. For example, I'm driving east on a highway, but the arrow in the Maps app is pointing south. If I...

    How can I disable BeiDou and GLONASS on iPhone?

    How can I disable all the transmissions (inbound and outbound if this happens) via BeiDou and GLONASS (Chinese and Russian versions of GPS) on iPhone? Would it be helpful if I disable all the location services on iPhone? Any other ways to disable them while using the iPhone's location services...

    Wireless Carplay GPS issue

    After updating to iOS 18 I noticed that Maps background usage is quite significant while using Wireless Carplay in my VW Golf MK8. I don't navigate, only use the Maps widget. The phone should use the car's GPS in wireless mode but control centre shows that Maps is constantly using location...

    GPS accuracy: Apple Watch Ultra 2

    I've had my AWU2 since Dec-2023, truly love it. However I'm perplexed by GPS accuracy: AWU2 vs iPhone 14Pro, seems AWU2 is around 6% less than iPhone 14Pro. Below are screen shots with data. These are all MTB bike data; I start/stop both same time, AWU2 is left wrist facing up (top of wrist)...

    Bizarre GPS behavior triggering HomeKit automations, timezone changes across devices

    Since yesterday, I've observed some really odd GPS-related behaviors on my iPhone running iOS 17.5, my wife's iPhone running 17.4.1, and my MacBook running macOS 14.4.1, all in the same location (our apartment) in New York City. It started with our HomeKit lighting turning on and off, seemingly...

    Anyone else have extremely slow AirTag sharing?

    We picked up 4 Airtags and bound them to my wifes iPhone, which she then shared to my account using the new feature in iOS 17. Both my iPhone and iPad can see them. However the location of the tags updates very very slowly, if at all. I tested this today by putting my spare iPhone with her in...

    GPS and back track issues

    I received Ultra 2 watch Friday and it has never displayed latitude /longitude - just dashes instead. I also see no indicator to show direction on back track feature. I spent an hour and a half with Apple support, including diagnostics with no success. Anyone else having this issue?

    AWU: Distance not correct only when running

    Hi, when I have finished a running work-out the distance is not correct. for example, when I have run 3,59km the AWU says that I have run 2,59 km. I’ve tried to run several distances on several location but there is still a difference from at least 400 meters. This only happens when I do a...

    Ultra Lat/Long Complication

    Anyone else have the lat/long on the ultra always reading blank and says “updating”? One of the most useful features to me would have having the current lat/long displayed on my watch face - believe it or not. It’s pretty frustrating that it NEVER seems to work and I’ve tried updating my...

    Resolved Waze - Navigate to contact?

    *** Resolved, see post #11 *** I've finally started to use Waze for navigation and I'm trying to work out how to navigate to a contact. I've googled and pretty much everything I've found says that I need to make sure my phone number is configured within Waze. I don't have an option to add a...

    iPhone 14 Pro iPhone 14 Pro GPS issue

    Hey guys, Just a quick question. Anyone else having issues with location indoors on their iPhone 14 Pro iOS 16.4.1? I play a lot of Pokémon Go and in the last few weeks after updating to 16.1 / 16.2 (as far as I can tell) it repeatedly tells me it can’t get GPS location. It’s infuriating, I...

    iPad Pro iPad Pro 11" 4th gen GNSS

    Which GNSS systems does iPad Pro 11" 4th gen support? GPS, Glonass, Galileo, Beidou, QZSS? Is it dual frequency GPS? Apple documentation only says GNSS. Generally the GNSS reception seems much better compared to the 1st gen 11" iPad Pro (2018 model).

    iPhone 11 Pro Why does iPhone share Lat/Long with EVERY VIDEO???

    This is the stupidest **** ever. I literally will go to share a video and my lat/long is included. I have tried choosing "options" when sharing a video, turning it off, and it doesn't remember my settings. It literally just puts them back. If I go into location settings I don't see how I can...

    16.1 on iPhone 12 Pro – CarPlay GPS has gone all wonky, totally unusable

    Location accuracy is soooo bad, on top of being really laggy, it's actually unusable for city driving where I live. Was working fine before the update. Affects all GPS apps, it seems. I see that there was an early GPS bug with iPhones 14, and this sounds similar, but I have a 12 Pro. This is...

    iPhone 14 Pro Dual-frequency GPS in the 14 Pro / Pro Max

    So both the 14 Pro and Pro Max appear to have the dual-frequency GPS which uses both the L1 and L5 GPS frequencies and is marketed as enhancing position accuracy in urban type environments where GPS signals bouncing off the buildings can cause problems. Having had a few problems with my 12...

    iPhone Offline GPS app that works with CarPlay?

    Normally when on a road trip I use my Garmin nav and plot out my routes in BaseCamp for my motorcycle. I am heading West to visit a friend in October and will be going by car. I have a nice big centre screen and CarPlay. Rather then suction mount my GPS and have the dangling wires I would love...

    macOS Applescript to set Photos "Places" from a GPS data exchange (GPX) file

    Here is a script I put together that will allow you load GPS locations into the the Mac Photos app from a GPS data exchange (GPX) file.

    Lack of Modems in new MBPs

    Rumors indicate there could be a slight possibility of modems in the new MacBook Pros. Obviously that didn’t happen. I’m curious if anyone is disappointed by this? Some thoughts: - While it would distract from iPad sales to have 5G in MacBook Pros, I can see the obvious advantages of not having...

    Other Why do people care about the iPhone 14 leaks?

    I don't really understand why people are saying to skip the 13 and wait for the 14? I see almost no innovation in it at all... - notch vs pinhole... eh, guess it's nice? - improved camera - I feel like these cameras are pretty maxed out already given their limited optics. Lidar on the non-pro...
