download my waze is not connecting to gps

What happens when I drive on an unknown (unmapped) road? When do my Drives show up in the Waze Map Editor? What's happening?ĪHM_KL wrote:Seems lots write about the same problem but Waze / Apple seeming to ignore it.įunnily enough I upgraded my iPhone 6 to iOS 9 at thr weekend and hey presto Waze works flawlessly once again.What are those dots on some of the roads? Lots and lots of people have the same issues - must be a bug in Apple iOS or Waze, but zero acknowledgement from Apple or Waze. This morning I switched it onto Waze - didn't know where I was for 10 minutes, then started to work, then went on / off for rest of journey irrespective of whether I had clear sky view or not Totally unreliable. It still has the same issue! So, can't be related to the old iPhone GPS module. My wife has the same phone / same iOS / same Service Provider and her Waze starts up instantly within a few seconds when put next to mine (hence not service provider, car window film, data reception etc)Ī few days ago I received a new iPhone 6 from my office. I had my phone on Airplane mode and tracked myself doing 250km/h at take off from a window seat on the plane! Yet, as soon as a landed in Malaysia it refused to find a GPS. Bizarrely when in the UK and Hong Kong recently Waze worked perfectly the 1st time. I have spent hours on the phone /email with Apple who thought, as did I, that the GPS module was damaged and needed to go in for repair (yet to do this).

I tried everything (Settings|Privacy/Location Services|Waze |Always), rebooting, resetting, deleting/reinstalling Waze, wiping iPhone, etc and yet still had the problem. nothing to do with being able to see GPS satellites. Had the same problem in the city as I did with the countryside ie. Waze reverted to positioning itself via cell tower locating (circle with dot in the middle) which was often several blocks away from it's true location. Then all of a sudden 6 months ago I received the 'Cannot connect to GPS' warning in red text and Waze had no idea exactly where it was when driving. I was using Waze on an iPhone 5, iPhone 5s and most lately an iPhone 6 for years with latest iOS without a problem.

Seems lots write about the same problem but Waze / Apple seeming to ignore it.
