Just reflash you ROM? Or pull out the GPS.CNFG file from it and swap it.

I have already copied the original gps.conf to a safe location, but when I try to copy it back the task fails. In ES file manager the folder and file are RW? Is it because it is in use by the system? How do I overwrite it? (Sorry for the noob question)
If someone needs it, I made a flashable zip file to revert gps.conf to original.
But I haven't tested it myself.

Tried this out and it seems great... Just wondering if there's any down side to this compared to stock?

I have the same gps issues and hope this config may help. However I have NO IDEA what I am supposed to do to flash it. I have an unrooted N5. Will I be able to flash it on there and if so could someone please explain just what I need to do as I have never done this before.
Thanks.
Thanks.
Per tcat007, GPS Status works just as well, you don't need root or to flash anything, just install from Play Store. I have used it on various phones including current Nexus 5 and it works great to fix and speed up GPS readings.

Well, my N5 is currently telling me that I am about 50 miles from where I am. And it has been doing that since last night.

So, is it possible to flash this onto my phone without rooting it? And how please?

Don't think it's possible. Pretty sure you need root to access and modify your /system settings.
Hi
I have issues with GPS location and orientation.
Often I'm shown further down the road facing in the wrong direction.
Will this help me ?
Thanks

20Realizing 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. Reboot3If someone needs it, I made a flashable zip file to revert gps.conf to original.
