My s8 was very good with Google maps,   but recently it is loosing the GPS signal.  I have to close the map and open again.  Some times I have to do this several times. 
Thanks for any help.

You can check by following the below path.

Settings >> Location >> Google Location Accuracy -> Toggled on

Are you on power save mode? If so, you may loose gps when display is turned off.
