Windows Maps update 5.x

I've noticed that since the new Maps update with the new Insider preview that it struggles to place my location accurately when in driving mode. The route calculates accurately, and the turn-by-turn is accurate. But the circle or dot that is supposed to be your current location jumps all over the place.

I've noticed that the quickest and simplest way to get your place on the map accurately is to press the pause button, wait a couple of seconds and then resume the map. This in my experience has rectified the issue.

Has anyone else had this issue?

I've got the exact same issue.

Try to hide the virtual buttons, and then pull them back up. After that your Lokation will be shown exactly. Works for me. Strange bug!

Yeah fast ring Insider Preview. Can confirm that hiding the onscreen buttons on my Lumia 950XL does place your location correctly.

Same here, the map believes I am 2 - 3 blocks away from my current location... Annoying while driving since always recalculate route !!!

Also, do you get the new Drive Mode UI as shown on the blog? in particular the top bar in landscape mode??? mine is still a full high bar (as high as the arrow rectangle) with the text in the middle, ie taking nearly 1/3 of my landscape screen ??? (L950XL with display size scaling to minimum).

Do you have traffic displayed while driving? no green/amber/red colour on the road even if the traffic is enabled before the direction + go and with good mobile data signal...?
