Help GPS thinks I'm in New Mexico

On occasion my phone and my wife's phone's GPS system thinks we're in New Mexico traveling at 200mph across the desert.

Nothing fixes it except for waiting it out. I had to just leave the phone sit for 4 hours today before it recognized where I really was.

Any thoughts?
 
As it says!! My GPS seems to have suddenly decided that I live in Shenzen China. As you can guess that is throwing my calendar and clock completely out.
Seemed to randomly happen - turning off GPS doesn't seem to make an difference - nor does turning off the phone and restarting.
Any ideas? Only had the phone for a week and have been hearing horror stories. I hope I am not going to be another one!!
Please help if you can!
