The tablet is losing GPS tracking in a matter of minutes

Some of the people who purchased the new Nexus 7 tablet PC from Google claim to be having some problems with the GPS capabilities of the device.

Apparently, while able to connect to the satellite without issues, the tablet PC loses tracking after 10 or 30 minutes of navigation, and even faster in some cases.

As soon as the problem kicks in, the slate enters the searching mode, displaying a blinking GPS icon, some of the affected users explain on the forums.

Rebooting temporarily resolves the issue for some people, though it does not always work. Furthermore, one user claims that they had the device replaced, and the problem was found on the new unit as well.

Google is already aware of the issue and is preparing a fix for it, PhoneArena notes. However, no specific info on when it might be released has been provided.
