Why do street names move in Maps on my iMac and iPhone?

When using Maps, if you zoom or move around a location, the street names follow you... they move off of the street.

This happens on my iMac and both IPhone's. Is there a fix for this? Thanks

I have the same issue but only on MacOS. For me it looks as if the street grid is set to a smaller scale than the satellite image beneath and only is correct in the very centre of the image. It's incredibly distracting and makes Maps almost unusable. Unfortunately I can't seem to delete the app (as it's a core app of the OS?), so I'm unable to attempt rectifying the problem this way. Having just checked, the mismatched effect is different depending on location.
