Galaxy S24 Google Maps GPS issue (SM-S921B/DS)

I am encountering a persistent issue with GPS signal loss when using Google Maps. This problem is specific to Google Maps, as other navigation apps function correctly. I've noticed that other users are experiencing the same issue. My Google Maps app is always updated, yet the problem persists. I have reported this through the "Feedback" section within the app, but the issue remains unresolved.

I do not believe this is a hardware problem, as the GPS works briefly after restarting the device before losing the signal again. Other GPS-dependent apps work fine, but Google Maps shows delayed movement updates and displays "Location accuracy is low" when tapping the blue location dot. Additionally, when initiating a route, the signal is completely lost, and the location fails to update. However, the compass functions accurately.

For context, I am using a global model S24 (SM-S921B/DS), manufactured on March 1, 2024. I am unsure if this issue affects other variants, such as those with Qualcomm SoCs or the S24 Ultra. I suspect this is likely a software issue rather than hardware-related. If any other users have experienced this issue, I would appreciate hearing about your experiences, solutions, or workarounds.

Software Info: S921BXXS3AXGD, THL CSC, Location Always-on, App can access location in the background..

Hello, has this been solved? I tried several things but so far I have completely wrong direction on google maps.
I have tried with factory reset, network reset, gps reset, GPS calibration, pitch and roll calibration, google maps location permissions allways allowed.

When I use google maps, the direction gets wrong after 30 minutes of walking, if I put the phone in the pocket and take it out every now and then. I tried with power saving enabled or disabled. Thanks

Last google maps update (February 2025) fixed it for me.
