    My GPS isn't working for WAZE or MAPS. Tried turning locations on and off which worked before. Anyone else have this problem? I'm on 950XL fast ring

    soft reset? GPS does not wotk at all for anything? If you take a photo with geotag, does it appear?

    Err i should rephrase. GPS gets an approximate location, but when driving, I can't get turn by turn. Geolocation for pictures do work. And yeah, I did a soft reset but same outcome. I rely on GPS for driving for work. Sucks when things don't work when you most need it

    now that I've read from other users and it seems like an issue for some on redstone builds - search for feedback and upvote

    You are not alone. I have been having the same issue. I am not on the latest redstone build 10.0.14390.0.
    I have been having this intermittent issue for a few months now. At first It had to do with bluetooth being turned on. It would consistently not work. I then shut off bluetooth (which in itself took several soft resets, without the phone freezing) and it worked really without an issue. It used to get stuck on "here we go" with bluetooth on. Now it gives me the annoying "proceed to the highlighted route".
    When I would close and reopen the map it would give me my exact location, but it wouldn't update it frequently enough.
    Anyhow, now it works sometimes and doesn't work other times. I am going to try a hard rest and see if that makes any difference.

    It worked for me on this build after a SOFT reset. Hard reset is just too time consuming
