I really hope this gets address soon. My whole project is based in GPS location.

@Zuicis - Excellent news! Thank you for making that post! Here's hoping we'll have a fix soon.
23 votes until this is the fourth highest issue of all time.

@AUREKSKYCLIMBER and others (copy&paste answer): "Hi yes, apologies for the wait. It was a more complex problem than the team initially thought. There is a fix for 5.6 on the way which is being tested right now, and it will also be backported to 5.5 and 5.4. We will know soon from QA in what upcoming patch this fix will land in."

@anthonyioflux - More ridiculous is the fact that no one from Unity has said anything about the issue at all. You'd think we'd at the very least get an acknowledgement that they know this is an issue.
This is currently the fifth highest voted issue of all time. 28 votes until it's number four. 55 until it's number one.

Ridiculous that this is still not fixed and has a priority of 7. This is a major release blocker. Pull your socks up Unity!

Does anyone know if they fixed it in 5.5.1?

The workaround mentioned by BREAN does reduce the frequency of crashes. I came across it myself, but sometimes it crashes before the count-down expires. Better, but not the solution.

This is also a big issue for some of my projects.
I have not tested it but maybe this workaround works: https://forum.unity3d.com/threads/gps-crash-android.420397/#post-2906895
Maybe this workaround helps Unity developers to track down the bug and fix it?
