So on friday I installed the update to google maps. Friday night when I tried to use navigation I noticed that "My location" was constantly unavailable. I have a gps status app and it claimed that no satelites would sink.

I uninstalled all updates to google maps, and bam GPS is fully functional again. I tried to re-install updates figuring it must have been some glitch at install, but as soon as install finished GPS was gone again. I tried resetting, turning GPS on and off, etc.. but no joy. I once again reverted back to the factory default Google maps and my GPS works brilliantly again.

Anyone else have this issue? Is there a way to file a bug report with Google?
