Q: No solid GPS fix (Iphone 6 IOS 9.3.5)
On my iPhone 6 with IOS 9.3.5 the GPS doesn't fix. Navigation apps don't work because the GPS has a accuracy of 100 m or more. I had a new GPS-antenna installed to get rid of the problem, but that doesn't seem to be the problem. So probably it's a software-issue? The strange thing is one moment it looks like the gps has a good fix, the other moment the accuracy is gone (up to 1.000 m or more?). I don't get it? More people having this kind of problems?
iPhone 6, iOS 9.3.5, null

iPhones use "assisted GPS" to get more accurate location. That means GPS data is combined with cell tower, Wi-Fi and even Bluetooth known locations. If these are not available, the accuracy will be lesser.
Also note that GPS requires at least 12.5 minutes to get a location. This is the time required to get signal from two satellites. Three would be much better.
