If GPS has been consistently shitty for people on the N5 then I think its a problem with the software on the N5. I remember the N7 had GPS issues when it was released too. Google needs to fix this asap!

I thought it was my ROM or kernel, because I installed them immediately. The location on the N4 was fine, but this one sucks. It's very innacurate even with wifi scanning on, gps on, and out in the open

If that's the only program that it broke for you, sure

For me it also broke Whatsapp and Final Fantasy and who knows what else since I switched back right away

Im not worried about using ART... it only saves little time compared to Dalvik... not a big issue for me

I think it's a must if your phone (N5 does) supports it. It's hard to go back the cable way once you have gone wireless.

I did a few reviews on my blog. You can check them out.

Hmm. I just tried my GPS again. It works flawlessly. It tracks me perfectly. Intentionally turned the opposite direction and Google maps instantly rerouted.

Got the Ringke Fusion case in black..fits very slim..build quality is alright, not fantastic. Back transparent plastic fits too close to the back of the phone itself, causing some weird smudgy marks from contact.

If you use your N5 naked, Google one is best as it charges really fast. And the magnets come really handy.

If not, get a tri-coil design like the Nokia or tylt vu so you can charge phone in various positions.
