I have problems with Google maps it is inaccurate, it jumps to different streets, unknowing which direction I am heading. I tried to calibrate, I deleted cache, updated, the only solution I found to uninstall all updates and going with the stock apk.
Is it just me? (Maybe I have a defective unit)
Dose anyone have the same problem?

I was wondering if anybody else is experiencing a similar issue. It is a common occurance for me, and here is how one could try and reproduce the issue:
1) Open google maps, search for a place, call it.
2) Go to another application on the phone for a little while, do something different
3) Try loading google maps again, it acts quite sluggish and then starts to load then restart!
I have noticed this problem since I got my phone, even past all of the Google Maps updates, and all of the OS updates, and remembered it happened when I was on the Brazilian verison as well.
I'm having a couple of wonky issues that recently presented themselves.
First, the compass is acting up. It always points in the wrong direction in Maps. It is usually about 45 degrees off, but lately it seems to only want to point south. It also points in the wrong direction when using GPS Essentials, but I haven't tried anything else.
Second, and the more frustrating issue: Maps is not working. First issue with maps: When I search for a destination and look at the route (before I start the route guidance), if the screen shuts off the phone will not wake up. I will have to reboot the phone. Second issue with maps: Route guidance crashes the phone. Specifically, when the voice talks, maps will freeze, causing me to have to reboot the phone. The really strange part is if I turn the volume all the way down, I can navigate just fine. It is only when the voice talks that it crashes. However, as you can guess, a voiceless guidance isn't all that helpful.
Things that I have done in the past that may or may not have any affects on my current issue: I have used faux's kernel, but went back to the stock kernel. I also use Viper's audio fix.
Does anyone have any suggestions for me to try to fix this??
*sigh*
The only time things work correctly is if you ask for help, right? I don't know if I have a permanent fix, but the compass and maps issues have subsided.
Here's what I did: I tried to use GPS Essentials multiple times to calibrate the compass with no success. I then tried GPS Status and Toolbox and that seemed to properly calibrate the compass, so that issue may be resolved.
Concerning the maps crashing: I tried disabling Viper audio for the phone speaker (I hadn't had this issue when the voice guidance was through the bluetooth), and it seemed to act normally. Since I only used Viper for the phone speaker I decided to totally uninstall the driver and app.
I don't know if this is a perma fix, but I'll try it out for a while and see what happens.
I have constant problems with Google play services which seem to effect multiple apps. Noticeably Uber and wear os. I'm sure there has been another app I have noticed it causing an issue. I have tried switching to manual on battery but that doesn't seem to make much difference.
I can always temporarily resolve the issue by clearing the cache and storage of Google play services. But obviously a pain to do this each time.
Any suggestions? Anyone else found this?
Do you mean the "Google Play Services is Updating" bugs ?
If yes, then am with you ever since the 27 April update of google play services. Clearing data solve it until next reboot though,
And since am not rebooting my phone that often, I guess I'll just wait until another play services update
Google messed up things way too often I guess

My pixel 4xl has that same problem on occasion. Why are you using an apk? I'm on the stock beta app and the problem happens once or twice a month
