Poor GPS lock on 10.4" Android HeadUnit. - Android Head-Units

Hello, I`ve had this head unit for a couple of years now, it reports it`s on Android 6.1 I believe.
I only have one problem with it, the GPS sometimes takes 10 minutes or more to lock on, sometimes less than a minute?, all the wiring is ok and once its locked in it will be fine (300 mile trips etc).
I think this has been a recent ish issue, can`t remember it doing it last year.
I have read quite a few threads, one mentions removing Google Play Services?, would this apply to mine even though it eventually finds the GPS location and then has no further trouble?. To be honest I do use the Play Store occasionally so would like to keep it if possible.
It takes 30 seconds to boot so presume it is doing a full cold boot every time, is there a program that will remember the last state of GPS to make it quicker to lock on or does it do this automatically anyway?.
We use Co-Pilot Sat Nav at the moment , but it doesn`t seem to matter which app.
Ideally I would like to keep it as a standalone unit, it connects to home WiFi but we don`t have WiFi on the move normally.
Any help appreciated.

GPS not working on HTC Magic

[Solved]
The gps is working again, without any intervension
Hi,
Recently I noticed that GPS is not working anymore on my mobile, when trying to show my location on Google Maps for example I get "your current location is temporarily unavailable"
The gps is not working anywhere else, whether I change the location or not, and for all the apps too not only Google Maps.
Before I have the Firmware 1.5 and things worked very well for me, and few days ago I updated to 1.6 but I didn't check for the GPS till now, so I guess it might be the reason.
note: when I use "Use wireless networks" to determine location I get the location normally, Also the phone got detected by Windows 7 64bits just 2 days ago, so I suppose something changed since I was trying to get it work for 2 months now.
Do anyone have an idea how to fix this, thank you.

Dead ram

Hello, I have a problem with my android car unit that it's driving me crazy. I bought this unit 6 months ago (aliexpress . com/item/Two-Din-Android-7-1-1-7-Inch-Car-DVD-Player-For-Mercedes-Benz-W209-W203/32554899913.html(I'm not able to put links)) and it work well until a some weeks ago. It started to slow down and to restart randomly. I decided to investigate to see what could be happening and I saw that now I only have 1GB of ram instead of two. I don't know if any of you had this problem before or has any idea how to solve it.
I would like to try anything before sending it back to China
Regards
UPDATE
So, today going back from work I noticed that the radio started up faster than I used to this last week, and when I went to settings -> ram I see that I got my 2GB back! Sadly after a while the radio crashed, all the buttons stopped working, the screen was white but the music that continue as if nothing happened. After I force the reboot I see that I still have my 2GB. I think defenitivly it's a problem related to the RAM or MCU.
I taked a couple of pictures of the version that I have, here they are:

Cheapest smartwatch that does turn by turn navigation?

I bought an electric scooter earlier this week:

It's easily twice as fast as walking, so I get lost twice as fast
I'd like satnav while avoiding the phone mount (cumbersome & risk of breaking the phone). I've been searching for a few days if I could get the turn by turn instructions from my phone (because Bluetooth) and display them on a mini OLED display but I don't think I can do that.
So, the next best thing would be to print a bracket to permanently install a smartwatch on the handlebar:
So, here's when I need your advice.
Ideally, I'd look for a place on my computer or phone and ask Google maps to send the itinerary to my watch/scooter. Alternatively, I'd be ok with having to start the navigation on my phone and then have it displayed on the watch.
Internet connection (if need me) will be shared wirelessly by the phone. Phone is a Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S on Android Oreo (MIUI 10).
So I think I want the smartwatch to run Android. Not sure I want it to run Android Wear
I don't have a shape preference but I want Google maps to be usable.
Budget is tight, used watch is welcome, which one would you choose?

Android Auto issues

I've had nothing but issues with Android auto on my 2019 VW Tiguan and now it just flat out refuses to work.
Only had the car for about a month and AA worked with spotty results for that entire time. It would randomly disconnect on the head unit and I'd have to reconnect it. The other day I decided to do some troubleshooting, reinstalled and now it doesn't work at all.
Tried new cables, different USB ports and even tried my wife's S10. Both now give me the same result. I tried it again today, it turns AA on my phone but when I click the apps screen on the radio it tries to pass it to the radio, gives me a data permission popup on my screen but then gives me a read error on the radio. It keeps looping and trying to reconnect. I actually tried doing it on some rental cars I was driving a few weeks ago, wouldn't work either on those at all. I've attached the screenshot of the popup that comes up and also what my radio displays. It also displays that for my wife and her phone is bone stock and no customizations.
Any tricks to get this dumb thing to work?
