So long story short i bought a brand new Redmi Note 10 Pro and all was well until i tried to use Google maps, everything works fine except the beam that shows your direction which i need to know which way im going when using onfoot navigation. So far i tried enabling Google Location Accuracy but still no luck, resting the Network settings but still nothing and enabling every single permission i could find but nothing. The only way I can get it to see which direction I'm facing for a bit is if i delete the data of the maps. Any ideas how i could fix it because I'm getting really frustrated.

There is no fix currently -- it's been reported many times in all of the MIUI14 build threads. Use another map app such as Here Maps, Waze etc, or use the built in Xiaomi Compass app for direction relative to your location in Google Maps.

Well i somehow fixed it by clearing all data from the Google play Services.
Temporarily -- this has been tried and discussed in the main MIUI 14 threads as well. On last weeks build, a reboot or an arbitrary amount of time will render it back to the same condition. For me it worked for about 8 hours.

Hi, i have the same problem with Xiaomi Mi 10 (umi)
14.0.3.0

Maps is not usable like this and its really annoying.

I did not find a fix for it until now.
Always deleting Maps data before using is not a Solution.
