With my new iPhone 15 running iOS 17.0.3 I have noticed that if my cell phone is not sitting on top of my dashboard, the GPS signal is showing me several 100 yards off my actual location, forcing both Apple Maps and GoogleMaps to continuously try and reroute my directions. Is anyone else experiencing this?
iPhone 15 Pro, iOS 17

Make sure that WiFi is enabled. It doesn't have to be connected to a network, just turned on.
GPS Location is off
