Im guessing my issue will be resolved in a future update, but I guess I could find myself in a similar situation again when I rely on the phone..
You might try doing a full factory reset on the phone. Sometimes those software updates aren't applied right, but fully resetting the phone fixes the problem.

Can't comment on the other thing unfortunately as I have no experience with an external gps since I always use my phone.
