I tested out my GPS yesterday because I haven't had a GPS position for a 
few weeks now, and it definitely seems to be broken. It used to work.

I tested this using OSMTouch, I disabled WiFi, so I could be sure it wasn't 
a location from Here. After a 21-22 min walk outside, with no overhead 
cover at any point, my location was still only accurate to several 
kilometers (which I assume is cell tower positioning). I also made sure the 
app was open and the phone never slept during the entire journey, just to 
be sure.

I'm using mako, previously on rtm, switched to stable a few days before 
this test.
