[QUOTE="MikeFromMesa, post: 1827574, member: 305741"] Thanks. I did not know that there was a GPS bug in the old iOS versions. The iPhone 6 in question was on an old version of iOS that did not even include support for Waze or Google Maps so I updated it before I left for the trip. The update took it from 10.? to 12.4 (I looked at what the previous iOS version was, but do not remember exactly, only that it was 10.something) and I could run Waze, Google Maps, Sygic GPS and Sygic Car through CarPlay after the update. The GPS seems to work properly as far as the navigation is concerned, but I don't know about how the speed is computed. It was my fault that I did not check my wife's iPhone 8 Plus to see how fast it said we were traveling, but I will do that tomorrow on our trip back home. I would check with AppleCare but the iPhone is long out of support. The incorrect speed is the only thing I noticed that was wrong as the nav stuff all seems to work properly other than that. Turns are exactly where the software says they are, it has no issue locating us properly and the No GPS signal messages that I got with the iPhone I returned are all gone. [/QUOTE]
