Is there any time frame when we can expect a fix on these two items?
These two fixed would make CM10 satisfactory for me.

try flashing dec 07 nightly see if that helps with the battery.
when i flashed cm10 i had the same problem with gps. go to settings - location access- and make sure its on, gps satellites and wifi/mobile network are checked . GPS source should be "use internal GPS". after that stay in settings and go to accounts- google-location settings- "let Google apps access your location" set to on. i hope this helps
CM10 12/5 >> gps gives big range for location, never locks
CM10 doesn't show gps icon, right..?
Battery is user dependent. We all use our phones differently. Battery might be good for me but poor for you.

first u need to see if ur getting any kind of lock. open navigation app and search for a place. if its stuck on "searching for gps" ur not getting a lock.
try this:
go to settings - location access- and make sure its on, gps satellites and wifi/mobile network are checked . GPS source should be "use internal GPS". after that stay in settings and go to accounts- google-location settings- "let Google apps access your location" set to on. i hope this helps
you could try the steps in the sticky of this thread. if that doesnt work then resort to stock and get it fixed. it's a relatively quick process with mobile odin and everroot.

Download GPS Test by chartcross. In settings clear AGPS data then download fresh AGPS. Then go to the sat locks screen. It should pop up in a couple of minutes.

Kenny im trying your method first since its alot faster. I have gps status and the WIFI im on wont let me connect to google play. Tried installing from laptop and wont go either. GPS status has can clear agps and get new aswell so will I update the thread
It is known that the Epic must connect to a data signal to get GPS. So since you can't get to Play store I am guessing that is the real issue.

I finally found a good wifi connection and was able to get gps to lock. I then went away from the wifi and it stayed connected with no data. However when I turned gps off and tried to lock again with no data it won't lock. Very annoying. Is there any workaround aside from anynomous?
No. I believe the epic either requires a data or cell connection to enable GPS.

Ok let me clarify how to get gps when u have no service. This has been working for me for 2 days. You can not be in airplane mode. You must have airplane mode turned off and have precached map area on google maps prior. I use gps status to lock then open gmaps then ur good. Thanks all

Shut off GPS when your not using it, which is most of the time for me. Most apps ,like weather, can use the network for location based services. Unless your navigation, there's almost no need for GPS.

Will turning off GPS prevent the "NetworkLocationLocator" wakelock?
I would always find that maps had started it self and used battery.
Now I have used Rom Toolbox to stop it from auto starting and it is behaving it self.
Not to hijack the thread, but whenever someone attaches a thumbnail to a thread, all I see is "Attached Thumbnails" and there is image. Anyone know why?
Update
I use PhoneWeaver (totally underrated app!) and for poops and giggles, I added the GPS toggle in all of the profiles except car mode. Before I have always just left the GPS on and figured if nothing needed it, it wouldn't be used.
Now that the GPS is disabled, the maps process never pops in and battery life is once again back to normal.

Also I don't even use maps and it eats up a ton of battery wth.
Set your wifi to turn off when your screen is off.
WiFi settings > menu button> advanced> keep wifi on > never
That should help some.
Also, what is your screen on time?

That should work too. The only other way to figure out what is taking all your battery is to scour Better battery stats for rogue wake locks and such. I un installed all my user apps and am reinstalling as I use them so that I don't have a ton of extra stuff running in the background eating all my battery.

I find LTE chews up battery. To turn it off should be settings/more settings/ mobile networks/ network mode. And then choose the one under LTE. Saves lots of battery. Also might want to disabled GPS. I looks like it is on according to pics.

In your app drawer tap and hold maps then drag it down to info. There should be an option to Uninstall update.

Hi,
I think I'm having GPS problems, I kinda can't get a lock when I'm home or in my car and if outside, it takes a min or too.
I'm trying different radios and even roms but can't have a reliable or even quantifiable measurement or criteria to make the comparison.
What do you guys use?
I tried an app called GPS Stats and Tools from the play store, but couldn't figure out the things that it displays!!

When you open the app, just go into tools or something, and manage aGPS then just press download again, leave the phone for like 20 seconds and it should get a lock, it tells you how many satellites and what accuracy you have

Can you provide a bit more? Is the GPS not turning on? Incorrect location?
Make sure when you're testing you have a clear view of a good chunk of the sky. Turn off "Allow Mock Locations" (in developer options) to make sure something isn't providing bad information overriding the GPS antenna. Also make sure the app you're using has permission to use Fine Location

For example, when I try to use Maps, under the GPS icon I see "Location Set by GPS." it still does not work though. Last time I tried using it was while I was running outdoors and it still did not grab any signal. I'll try to take off Allow Mocking but can't seem to find it. Lol. I'll keep looking.

I've had the exact same issue ever since flashing 10. My phone doesn't even pick up satellites or anything. I flashed back to an ICS ROM, and everything worked flawlessly. Even on the stick touchwiz 4.1.2 it worked, but on cyanogenmod, I haven't been able to get anything.
