Hi, I checked https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=190376 and also tested with Nexus 5 running Android V6.0.1 (that's the device most mentioned in the ticket) and GPS is working ok for me on the Nexus 5. GPS is also working ok for me with Android V6 on Nexus 5X, 6, 6P, 7 & 9.
However I don't use the Location API class much and where possible prefer to use the lower level NMEA listener interface - http://developer.android.com/reference/android/location/GpsStatus.NmeaListener.html You could use the NMEA listener interface as a temporary work around and create your own Location objects from the lower level NMEA data (this works fine, I also do this when using external Bluetooth GPS receivers with Android devices - converting GPS NMEA data back into Location objects, you just need to do the relevant data conversions between the different measurement units...)
