My GPS had not worked since last January (2015). I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 8.0, but I'll bet this applies to a lot of other devices. I found little help and little hope for ever getting it to work again, though I did get suggestions from moonbutt74 (thanks). I hated the idea of resetting my tab to factory just to see IF it might fix my GPS so I didn't. I did discover the option of buying an external GPS dongle and so I bought a Globalsat ND-105C.
It did not work either with the app that it wanted me to install. So I searched and found a different app. It didn't work either, BUT it gave me an error message that said: CANNOT START, MOCK LOCATIONS DISABLED. So I looked into how to enable mock locations and did so. (Settings/General/Developer options/Allow mock locations...). Lo and behold; my new GPS dongle was working! Then, I unplugged the dongle - and my tablet's internal GPS was also working!
I don't think the external GPS had anything to do with getting the internal GPS to work. I think I just needed to turn on Allow Mock Locations. I hope this helps someone else with the same issue.
