Hi all
Would like to ask if there is any mobile app on ios that can plan multiple destination? Eg, route planner. You key in 10 destinations and it optimizes and plans out the routes of the 10 destination by distance for you.

If this the wrong place to post, kindly let me know where i can post it?

I found some on App Store but it cost a fair bit. Anything free?

many many thanks

Thank you OP and Google for this thread.

I too have been having this problem since 11.2.6, 11.3 and now also on 11.4.

I contacted Apple Support after contacting Waze and the Apple advisor advised me to:

1. head into Settings > Privacy > Location services > System services
2. toggle all of the System Services off for 20 seconds
3. perform hard reset (restart)
4. head into Settings > Privacy > Location services > System services
5. toggle all back on
6. test Waze

And voila, it worked again for me! Tested on both WiFi and 4G just to be sure.

Hope this helps OP and others.

Registered just to pass along a possible solution that worked for me after a million solutions failed.

Go to settings——Cellular——Cellular Data Options—-Enable LTE. No matter what it is on toggle it to off and do a complete restart.

Go back into Enable LTE and change it from off to Voice and Data.

I have no idea why but this worked for me.

I do both the Cellular reset as well as all the steps OP suggested. Using ios 12.0 on iphone 6 and Waze still cannot see GPS? This problem began early in 11.0 and has persisted thru all the ios upgrades. Very frustrating. Really lked and depended on Waze. Google maps does not seem as smart nor is the mapping as complete as in Waze:-(

Any help out there?

Hey everyone I am using an iPhone 6s with ios 11.2.6, and I have been trying for the past 2 weeks or so and Waze keeps on showing me this error : "No GPS. Showing approximate location"

I have done and followed on the steps on the Waze support section on the Waze website and followed numerous other websites which chronicles this same problem, be it from reinstalling Waze to turning off and on location services, resetting location and privacy settings on iOS to no avail, the problem still persists.

Followed and read through this link here ( https://discussions.apple.com/thread/811268...rt=500&tstart=0 ) and tried numerous ways that others have suggested but no success. Was wondering if anyone here has gone through the same thing and has managed to fix it? or is it a problem with i0S and I've to wait till Apple releases the next iOS update? Google Maps, Find My Iphone seems to work fine on my phone which indicates that my gps is working.

appreciate the help!

I have the same problem as you. This happen to me on all my GPS based apps such as Google Maps, HereWeGo & Apple Maps. I'm using iPhone 7 plus ios 12.2 on Maxis. My solution is go to Settings->Mobile Data->Mobile Data Options->Voice & Data->Choose 3G. Make sure you have unobstructed view of the sky. Open Waze/Google Maps. GPS detect my location instantly! It seems that when i choose 4G my phone will only use the approximate location instead of phone GPS. Hope this helps others. Thanks!

Someone here just recommended to set the iPhone to 3G instead of using 4G if you encounter GPS errors while using Waze. I haven’t had the chance to try that out, as Waze is ok now.
