I’ve had similar issues lately.  Haven’t done much to troubleshoot it, because of multiple problems.  iPhones, as with most such devices, don’t have durable or quality sensors, but I can’t really explain what’s going on.  I most often use a Garmin Oregon for caching, so it’s not much of an issue for me.

[Navigation is all over the place]

Hi all,

 

The last month or so the navigation in my app has been ALL OVER THE PLACE. It doesn't matter if it's clear skies, cloudy, cold, warm, tree cover, no cover at all, city, trails, etc. The compass will say I'm 50m away so we walk in that direction and all of a sudden we're 200m in the wrong direction. It doesn't bounce instantly but as we walk. I've tried placing the phone flat in the palm of my hand, taking the case off... navigation is on, compass is active. Today was most frustrating because we walked back and forth 300m for 30 minutes before giving up. Walk in one direction, compass says to turn around, walk in the turned around direction and the compass says go back.

PS. The map nav and compass nav are having the same issue (i.e. they're consistent in not being able to find the location.) I've even located caches and had the compass tell me - on a crystal clear day - that I was stil 30+m away in a completely different direction.

 

Everything is updated on the iphone, app and iOS. Ideas? Suggestions? Getting lost for 3 hours was not fun today and almost pushed me to give up on caching completely.
