    When I use GMaps in my car it takes ages for it to track where I am on my route. The couple of times I've tried it it freezes my position for minutes at a time, occasionally updating to where I actually am later, before eventually being smooth and following me as it should (normally after about 20 mins of being on my journey).

    Anybody else? Is this a GMaps issue

    I plan on testing it with another maps / navigation app.

    I also am having this issue with multiple nav apps. It locks on initially fine but loses me right when I start moving. I may try to do a warranty swap as my brothers priv does not have this issue.

    Out of curiosity are you minimising it?

    After a while it will stop working.

    Interesting. I have a very similar Gmaps problem on my bb10 phone but I goes away after about 2 minutes of navigation. I've determined that when my position on the map is stuck despite the car being in motion, the app is frozen. If my issue is in fact the same as yours, an given we have different operating systems, it would indicate a problem with Gmaps

    Same problem with my Priv. Need a solution now I thought it was a Google maps temporary thing.

    Do you have a strong cell signal when this happens? If you don't, you might want to preload maps for your area. It might make a difference.

    It works perfectly for me, no problems. Best phone satnav I've ever had, especially with the traffic updates.
