I heard a rumor that GPS services are bad in DC on purpose so that weapons with a GPS tracker can't target effectively

Sounds like something a Pizzagate believer would tell you 🤦🏽‍♀️

OP: I have this issue in all cities; NYC, Richmond, DC, etc. I would suggest restarting your phone and then opening maps to use. It always works for me.

No. Having been around a lot of military bases, this rumor persists around many of them. Either with GPS, or that the base has jammers to prevent your phone or radio from working near the base. In OP’s case, it’s just tall buildings.

And old buildings. Old building materials will absolutely reduce signal. Like there's plenty of spots in older museums where I have no cell service if I'm in the interior of the building.
