GPS woes on Marshmallow

Hello all,

Moto E 2015 Surnia (XT1526) here. I've been on a stock 5.1 ROM for a while. Was bored and flashed a 6.0.1 ROM, set up, runs smooth as butter, etc.

One thing I noticed is GPS is VERY wonky. In a navigation app (waze) when driving, sometimes it has me off to the right, to the left, which makes it go off route if theres an exit and re route. Also when stopped, it turns 180 degrees, then back, making it re route. I thought it was the magnetic mount I had, lack of sky visibility, nope.. I re positioned with no luck.

I never thought it was coincidental, thought maybe my phone was broken or over heated.

Low and behold. Flashed back to a 5.1 ROM and no more issues, and rock solid GPS. My guess since there were never official 6.0 firmwares/drivers, being the issue.

Anyone have recommendations? Is there a ROM out there (6.0.1) that may specifically have a GPS fix? The main purpose for my Moto E is being a GPS. Or anyone using Waze on a Marshmallow ROM on XT1526 with no issues?

Thanks!
