GPS is still a bit "iffy" and now worse
since upgrading to current build number: 23
I can no longer seem to get GPS from Nokia HERE service
Nokia's GPS location service - System Settings > Security & Privacy > Location access > " Using GPS, anonymised Wi-Fi and mobile network info." is no longer accessible. 
and it takes a age to get GPS from sattelite

Looking into the logs I see:-

/var/log/upstart/ubuntu-espoo-service.log
HERE binaries not found; disabling
ubuntu-espoo-service stop/pre-start, process 7700
HERE binaries not found; disabling
ubuntu-espoo-service stop/pre-start, process 3932

after trying to start espoo service
sudo service ubuntu-espoo-service start

my last /var/log/upstart/ubuntu-espoo-service.log.1.gz is from June 
So I guess that is the last time this was working

I have tried reinstalling the latest Ubuntu Touch image but to no avail.

sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-location-provider-here 
after making the filesystem read/write makes no difference

How would one go about installing the missing HERE binaries?

Title:
  GPS and location detection not working on Nexus 4

Status in location-service package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Mako with MultiROM, utopic r239

  None of the apps I have tried including Weather, Google maps, OSM
  Touch and SensorStatus are able to use the phone's GPS. The
  SensorStatus app actually reports "Found supported backend", but finds
  no position or other GPS data.

  Location detection on the other hand is doing something, but it is
  really far off when it comes to determining the actual location of the
  device. The Weather app suggests my location as Vänsjö, Jämtland,
  which is about 400 km north of Stockholm where I am at. OSM Touch
  reports "no location available" and Google maps "Your location could
  not be determined"

  I don't know if the GPS has to "waken up" somehow, but it has not
  shown any form of life for me on Ubuntu Touch, even though it works
  perfectly fine when booting the phone as Android.
