If you're experiencing Google Maps location issues, you might want to calibrate the app - here's how to do it on iPhone and Android.
Navigation apps like Google Maps only work as intended if the device you're using does one basic thing well: locate you, the user, accurately. If a navigation app can't find you, it can lead to all kids of annoying navigation and direction issues. If you experience any location issues with your phone, you might consider calibrating the app, which is very easy to do. It's actually even easier to do on Android, but iPhone users also have a way to fix Google Maps location issues.
If Google Maps recognizes your surroundings, it'll complete the calibration process. You can't do this indoors. You must perform the calibration outside so Google Maps can look at your surroundings. If this fails, you have to try it again, unless you're an Android user. My iPhone tells me Google Maps location accuracy is low, I'd better calibrate it. The Android-only way The next method only works on Android, but I'd love it if Google eventually brought it to iPhone as well.
