I'm not sure it's possible to download older versions straight from Google even if you get the user agent string working.



How come the user agent set to something else by default?
GPS works fine for me within Google Maps. Like manekineko said there is an issue with My Location finding you without GPS enabled but if I go under Options and select Use GPS it finds me, even in my house. I would think that indoors, results may vary.
I've read in other threads that users had improved GPS function after flashing a new radio. If the issue just popped up I'd give it a day to see if it persists before making any changes. Good luck.
