Thanks for contacting Apple Support Communities!

You can also verify that you have precise location enabled for Maps: View maps on iPhone - Apple Support

"Allow Maps to use your precise location

To find your location and provide accurate directions, iPhone must be connected to the internet, and Precise Location must be on.

• If Maps displays a message that Location Services is off: Tap the message, tap Turn On in Settings, then turn on Location Services.
• If Maps displays a message that Precise Location is off: Tap the message, tap Turn On in Settings, tap Location, then turn on Precise Location.

Cellular data rates may apply (see View or change cellular data settings on iPhone).

We hope this helps you.
