Hi there


Please try this


Enable Location Services for Maps

  1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
  2. Tap Privacy & Security, then select Location Services.
  3. Make sure Location Services is toggled on at the top.
  4. Scroll down and tap Maps.
  5. Set access to While Using the App and make sure Precise Location is turned on.


Reset Your GPS and Location

If your phone is stuck on your old home address due to a GPS glitch:

  1. Go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services.
  2. Turn Location Services off, wait a few seconds, and turn it back on.
  3. Restart your iPhone to force it to reconnect to local cell towers and GPS satellites for your new area.
