Nexus 7 - GPS issue

[Pug]

Hi

thinking of buying my father a Nexus 7 for use in his car as a GPS & music jukebox (i'd be getting cellular).

However upon researching it, i keep stumbling across old posts regarding the GPS dropping out either quickly or after a while, and the device needing a reboot.

How common a problem was this, and has it been fixed?
