Yesterday i turned in my company phone and tablet and all that good stuff. I?m back to my personal phone which is an iPhone 6. The gps isn?t working. Waze or maps. I deleted the apps and reloaded that didn?t help. I factory reset the phone that also did nothing. Any one else ever have this? Can I fix it? Monday I?m driving a flat bed truck to San Diego and I need my gps to work. I don?t really want to upgrade phones but I guess if I have to I will. Guy said new iPhone comes out November though so I figure the phone I buy will be a lot cheaper in a few weeks 🙄

Sorry to hear.
You may have to go old school. Look at a map and write directions down on paper.

I had the same, went to the Verizon Store and they said if you hold the icon to long it'll hide it or turn off location.
Not exactly sure what that meant and they were to slammed with customers to take more time to show me but they turned it all back on and I was good to go.

Are you telling him to shake the phone until it works?

Mine did this.
Gps stopped. Soon after cellular data stopped.
Only worked on wifi.

Hard reset did nothing.
Phone was toast, Verizon sent me a replacement no charge.

Those cell phone warranty programs driver.

Cellular data is also hit and miss. Maybe this phone is toast
