Anyone using Google Maps come across any issues? Regulary have it on for traffic on my commute, however Google Maps keeps losing GPS and doesn't recognise I'm driving.

I can cancel navigation & press the location button & it will recognise where I am.

Interestingly, Google Maps work perfectly if i start a route navigation immediately after restarting the phone.

Use waze instead for now. Until they give us an update.

Looks like everything needs a software update 🙄

I've had the same problem with waze.

I've got the same problem. The navigation app (doesn't matter which) struggles to find my location. Unless I've restarted my phone and opened the app to use it. However as soon as I leave it over night it needs restarting again. 

I hope its software related..

Me and my friend just received s22 ultras and we are both having exactly the same issue! Google maps is one of the main apps we need on the phone. This is unacceptable and we are thinking of returning the phones now.

Same problem for me too.

The GPS seems to struggle getting any satellite lock after a long idle time. You need to restart the phone in order to find and lock satellites. Unacceptable, inconvenient and for sure not a great user experience.
