So....drove the dog over to the high school for his nightly walk (he can run free there) and then remembered to download the profile so I could log my drive home. Profile downloaded, installed and phone re-started.
Drive home was perfectly normal with no delay visible at all...perfect positioning.
Can others do a hard restart and let me know if you experience the same? Wondering if they implemented a fix at the same time as the latest beta (or just a coincidence). A hard restart will force a server side update idf that is what was issued.

With iOS 15.4b2, location data is showing far more regularly when tapping on POIs - previously it was hit and miss if you'd get more info than the coordinates.
Per a post I just saw on Reddit (it was posted yesterday)...station outlines in the Transit layer are appearing in Israel.
Map delay is definitely fixed for me… If anything it is a hair quicker than being precise… That is better in my opinion since it gives you time to look down and see the turn…
Not sure if anyone else can confirm, But everything working perfectly for me now.

I looked on the Maps of Israel. I haven't seen anything. Maybe only on beta 15.4?
I was about to say that could be the case. I'm on the 15.4 beta and took a look around. I looked near the airport in Tel Aviv and found a station outline. However, I also checked on my Mac, which is not on a beta and saw it as well.
Israel is definitely a country I'm paying attention to for new map updates. I've never been there, but my wife was born and raised, so she'd be able to give me more pointers on where I should be looking to see likely changes/updates.
It's worth noting though that it looks VERY basic. For instance, if I look at a station near me here in the US, I can see the shading/outline of the station with all of the entrances marked. Entrances are marked whether it's an underground station, above ground station that is enclosed, or an above ground station that is just a platform outside with no actual building. The one I found in Israel has the shading/outline but that's it. None of that other information. So it's looking like a start.
EDIT: Found a few more stations. Same story. They have the shading and outline, but no entrance labels. Here's one example:
Israel has not always received a pedestrIan image collection. We can imagine that Apple could achieve this one after New Zealand and Singapore. In any case, the new map data will not arrive immediately for Israel. There are already Japan, Germany, France, New Zealand and Singapore before.
Meanwhile, Apple has turned part of Sydney Harbour into land.
Not limited to iOS 15.4 beta - it seems to be on all versions of iOS 15 and 14 after checking a few devices.

Speaking of Israel, I just opened Maps to take a look and noticed that you can see POIs for craters on the map, just like mountains. Does anyone know if this is new? Or maybe it’s been there since iOS 15 and I’ve just been looking at the wrong parts of the world on the map to not notice it. Cool nonetheless.

Took a drive with both phones (one on Beta and one on Release OS) and it’s definitely fixed now. The non-Beta phone still lagged while the fix is actually a hair too fast. Rather that than slow though.
Just arrived in Detroit on what will be a Maps heavy week.

Final destination? If so and Maps let’s you down, let me know. It’s where I grew up.

I wish…same alert at YYZ a little later. Don’t think I got one for YEG last night.
And now…the 2,000 mile drive home using Maps.
