yeah, the whole GPS/Location services thing is immensely frustrating, it 
is causing me to recommend a project to put phones in 101 delivery vans 
across Europe doesn't use Ubuntu phone but picks Android devices 
instead. I am developing the server side logistics telling the vans 
where to go, and I could recommend anything, I would like to have 
recommended a phone that is open all the way down to the hardware, but I 
simply can't because the GPS is designed to be off all the time just to 
save a bit of battery life and I have to have something that works.

My phone still thinks I am in Fitzroy square in London where I was on 
Saturday night. It needs a band aid, I am totally up for contributing to 
a fix, but if it is designed to not work then I can't really contribute 
much.
