The problem

Steps to reproduce

Turn on GPS "high accuracy", set a destination in maps, drive over 15 minutes to the destination, turn off navigation in maps, turn off GPS.

Some apps won't start, some apps won't work correctly. It is possible to scroll left and right in Bliss. The pull down bar at the top does not work. At some point you get a message "system UI isn't responding". See the video.

System should not crash.
