FitzAusTex, that sucks.
Try clearing all App Cache's, and also the gps A-GPS cache, then reboot?...just an idea.

Yes, restarting is a temporary fix to get it working.
As I said, the only permanent fix is to disable Google Play Services because it appears that the problem stems from interference from that app. But you are crippling your tablet in other ways by doing that, so it isn't really a solution. The solution needs to come from an update to Google Play Services.
I checked and I've got Google Play Services 3.2.25 so I'm sure that's really the reason why my GPS is now working flawlessly.

Awesome, that's great to hear....confirms my findings.
Mine worked for a couple of hours with 3.2.25. Hope it continues to work for those who it is currently working for, but stopped for me.

I did reboot. Cleared caches. Worked for a couple hours.

This thread is PRECISELY why I like being a forum member/reader when I'm considering a product. I just sold my 2012 N7 (too many issues) and toyed with the idea of MAYBE getting the newer model. The issues mentioned in this thread easily convinces me not to get back on the Asus bandwagon. I'll just wait for some other forthcoming 1080p tablet around 7 to 8 inches. Thanks to everyone who stepped up to the plate to describe their issues. Product forums rock!
A real advantage of Google Nexus devices is that you will be the first to get fixes and updates. With other vendor's devices you can wait for months while they add and test the garbage they overlay on top of Android.
I've learned the hard way. I'll never buy anything but a Nexus ever again.

Unfortunately this isn't always true. Nexus 10 went from November to 4.3 with random reboots. That is months by my count.

Wow! I'm waiting for the new Nexus 10. I've been reading reviews of the current N10 and they have been good. Is this a widespread ongoing problem?

They must have fixed it by outsourcing to our nexus 7Reboots were mostly fixed in 4.3.
