If this is an issue with GPS then try performing a diagnostics test on the GPS

Hi jayy26,

This could also be related to the application directly. I suggest a removal of the apps data and then attempting the function.

Menu > settings > Apps > All > Google Maps > Clear Data.

If this does not work try an unstallation of the updates.

Menu > settings > Apps > All > Google Maps > Uninstall Updates.

Let us know how you get on.
