Count your blessings. You’re one of two people in this thread with no issues on 16.1 beta with a 14 pro/pro max.
Because I don’t want to go through the trouble of downgrading and not having a restore point for something that will be fixed in a day or two most likely.
Also, I’m sure you know but it sounds strange up there. You know 16.1 is newer than 16.0.1, right?
iPhone 14 Pro here, running latest 16.1 developer seed and have had no problems with GPS. I’m based in Canada, though - wonder if that matters.
Tested in Google Maps, Maps, compass, and Uber.
(Used the native migration assistant transferring on top of a brand new phone from an iPhone 13 Mini running 16.1)

Wondering if this is while you are moving? I only ask because mine finds me pretty well, but does not follow along while I’m moving. Sporadically, but not consistent. Re-routes constantly thinking I’m somewhere I’m not.
Isn’t Dev beta usually an update ahead of public betas? I’m on the public beta 16.1.
At least that’s how it used to be. Maybe it’s different now.
They can get out of sync, but the current public beta and the most recent dev seed are the same version (I think). My OS build # is 20B5045d.
I used Uber and Google Maps while travelling (two separate instances) and didn't notice any problems. I'll update this if things go south. Pardon the stupid pun.
Good luck. There is no guarantee they will fix, but I understand your concerns.
If you can downrev and fix it on the same hardware, they will fix it lol. they’re not going to screw up something so significant and then just say “well, that’s that.”
Yeah, was released Wednesday of last week, so could be this week, or only two more before next release. Assuming next release fixes it, beta, so never know.
This is probably a dumb question but since I’m going to wait this out, can I run Maps on my Series 7 watch for directions independent of my 14 pro?
I ran maps on my series 6 watch. But it has standalone connection to my provider as well so…
Made an account just for this.

all maps, gps, etc. are basically useless. I’d be screwed if I didn’t know my way around my city well enough. And to put the icing on, since the GPS won’t lock on, Uber never starts any of my waiting timers.

I wouldn't be using a beta software if you're relying on your phone for your job. Even if it wasn't the gps, there is always other stability issues
Wow thanks sherlock. Doesn’t much help now.
Well, will hopefully help in the future. It's advice, not a criticism
I’m in 16.1 with a 14 Pro Max. I used Apple Maps for 20 minutes earlier, then used Google Maps. No issues.
Only posted because someone said there were only two saying no issues.

I’m on 16.1, 14 Pro Max. Mine is very, very wrong. I visited my parents today, and it showed me like half a mile off the interstate the whole way.
Reddit is full of 16.1 beta 14 pro & pro max with issues too. Also thanks Macrumors https://www.macrumors.com/2022/09/17/ios-16-1-beta-breaking-gps-on-iphone-14-pro/
I had to use iTunes. You download the IPSW and then restore via iTunes by holding shift while pressing restore to select the downloaded IPSW.
