Realizing that many people are having GPS issues (not only hardware) on the N5 and partly due to this thread -> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2523341 , I am posting here the GPS config file which should help alleviate most software issues while locking onto GPS Satellites.
It enables AGPS lock with a dirty threshold (much like iPhone) and then keeps improving your position to the nearest metre. So when you open a GPS app you are not in another continent but much nearer to actual location and then keeps getting better within seconds (especially with Open Sky visibility)
THIS IS NOT MY WORK. I HAVE BEEN USING THIS CONFIG SINCE LAST YEAR. DONE BY SOME PERSON HERE @ XDA
Method 1 - Flash attached file in recovery
Method 2 - Extract the gps.conf from the zip and push to /system/etc. Reboot
