GPS appears to fail when starting navigation

[greatgoogly]

Nexus 4 running 4.4.4 stock.
Beginning yesterday when I started Navigation via Maps GPS almost immediately stops responding and I get "GPS Signal lost". I will then try to verify if the GPS is working by using the GPS Test app, it will be unable to find any satellites. If I either power cycle or cycle via Airplane Mode and then open the GPS Test app it will be able to find satellites and acquire a fix. It will hold onto to them for a period of time, but if I try to start navigation the GPS stops working again. It certainly seems that the action of starting Google Navigation breaks the GPS until either a power cycle or cycle thru Airplane Mode. Other apps that use GPS work fine until I again attempt to use Navigation. I've tried clearing the cache in Maps but that does not appear to be doing the trick. Any suggestions?

In location settings, is the option for Maps having access to location reporting turned on?

Yes it was. Sometimes it would work for a few seconds and then crash. Ended up reloading the OS and so far so good.

Ah, OK. Glad it's working so far
