GPS on my iphone 5 isn't working properly.

GPS on my iphone 5 isn't working properly or at all.

When stationary the gps has an accuracy of about 200 feet give or take. When the phone is moving it becomes less and less accurate. "searching for gps" eventually displays on the bottom of the screen and the phone can't locate it's position.

iPhone 5, iOS 6.1.4
