Yesterday, I had this problem. I wanted to go to a new restaurant. Opened the Apple Maps app on my iPhone, I entered its address and tapped “Directions” then “Go”. Then I noticed that navigation was not working properly. What I mean by this is that the Maps could not find my exact location. Apple Maps was not updating my position as I move. Further the navigation was incorrect. It was showing the wrong places. I thought my location services was turned off. But it was not; in fact I opened the Google maps app, and its navigation was working properly.
