David Hanak Complaints about the accuracy and quality of the received GPS signal on some iPhone 11 Pros are piling up on the web. Users complain of inaccurate and unreliable measurements that often compromise their activity records.
The applications most often affected by this ailment include, for example, the popular Strava, but other users also complain about the accuracy of, for example, the navigation application Waze. One of the Strava users couldn't do it and subjected his unusually good sports results to a more thorough check. He discovered that when using the application, a lot of geolocation data is inaccurate and the application evaluates the user's activity incorrectly.

Pavel Jelic How you can read for yourself at reddit post, the user contacted the developers of the Strava application, after a thorough investigation they found that the error was on the part of Apple and its hardware.
According to the developers, (probably only some) iPhones 11 Pro have a problem with reading horizontal GPS coordinates. The user mentioned above claims that the error when recording the GPS location only happens to him in the Strava application, however, other users on the web complain of inaccuracies in other applications as well, such as Waze, Maps, Pokémon GO and others.
The frequency of such problems may not be large, but if you search for them specifically on the web, it is possible to find a relatively large number of cases. It is possible that the new iPhones have a problem with the transmission of the GPS signal, whether it is due to new hardware or a redesigned steel chassis. If similar problems appear more and more, Apple will probably be forced to take some action. So far, however, the sample of affected users is too small to draw any conclusions.
How is GPS accuracy on your iPhone 11 Pro? Are you experiencing any issues or inaccuracies, especially compared to previous models?

luckily, I haven't noticed any problems yet (iPhone 11 Pro) on Strava, over 1000 km have already been driven in that time..
I don't know about iP11 Pro, this year's transition from SE to iP8 was a huge disappointment for me. I compare GPS in geocaching and Wherigo game. GPS does what it wants, +- 30 m is not a problem?. It is now an "older" piece, but the symptoms look similar.
From the beginning, I have the feeling that GPS and phone signal is weaker (11 PRO). I was switching from an iphone 6, so a relatively big jump, but this is disappointing for me. So far, I have registered "worse" GPS behavior in the Maps app. Navigation seems OK to me. I haven't tried the diet yet..
I'm having big problems on Strava on my iPhone 11 Pro. It adds about 600m to a 10km run.
My first apple, but the gps signal is a huge problem, it practically makes it impossible for me to use waze for example….
