US spec Lumia 830. I've recreated on WP8.1 and W10M 10586.107

GPS is totally on the fritz. Can't navigate worth a damn. My location skips all over. Doesn't know my speed. I've tried with Here Drive+, Here Maps, MS Maps. They all do the same thing. I loaded up "Hardware Tests" and sat still outside with a clear view of the sky for a few minutes to let the GPS get a lock. The accuracy got to 70m. I've rotated it and swung it around to calibrate the compass. Anyone think it's possible that my GPS antenna broke or something?
 
Based on the information you provided, it does seem that the GPS (or one of the components, software or hardware related to the GPS) is not working as it should. Consider performing a hard reset or bringing it to a service center.
 
Yeah I've done hard reset(s). Flashed 8.1 and 10. Tried different map/location apps. My position is ALWAYS way off. Bah.

Time to replace it.
