Has anyone encountered any problems with the GPS on the Galaxy SIII or similar 
models starting to malfunction after a while?

Mine is around 18 months old and since around Easter its ability to connect to 
the satellites seems to have become very weak, typically only picking up 7-10 
satellites (rather than 16 or so) and if the sky is even the slightest bit 
obscured (e.g. valley between small hills), it fails to pick up any at all.
Only on the top of hills with a good all round view does it pick up more than 
10 satellites.

It's basically become very difficult to use, luckily I have a tablet as well 
which is obviously less easy to walk round with but can just about manage.

Has anyone had success connecting external micro USB or Bluetooth GPS devices 
to Android phones?

Thanks,
Nick
