The resets are less frequent but still happening. I just installed Samsung Kies and tried to do a backup. It failed on the apps and the settings plus a few others. Samsung Kies sounds like a good idea it is not working for me.

Ok, sounds like you really need a reset then! Unfortunately, not much else you can do to back them up! Make sure your google is completely synced before you reset and good luck!

Give towelroot a chance to catch up! Shouldn't take long
GLONASS is a type of GPS satellite that disappeared for many users with the release of 4.4.2 for many Android devices. 4.4.4 was rumored to fix this.
If you use the "GPS Status" app from the Play Store and see any greyed out points on the dial, it means your phone is not actively communicating with those satellites, at least from research I've read.
I have a Verizon phone.
EDIT
I seemed to have fixed it by downloading an app called TopNTP! Basically, if you have root, it rewrites your gps.conf file using different satellite servers. My GPS now locks in 2 SECONDS, compared to the few minutes it used to take. Wow, such a huge difference. Recommended to all who may have some GPS locking issues.

Mine locks in really fast! This is what it looks like for me
This is the first update my phone has received from Verizon, since rooting it. Am I correct in thinking I must unroot before downloading this update? Also, do I have to uninstall my apps that use root, i.e. SuperSU, greenify, etc., or do I just disable them, or leave them as they are?

Taking an OTA While rooted is ~NEVER~ Advisable! You must remove the root and Superuser ONLY! Take the Update after you complete those two steps!
AND as a warning!!! This seems to break Towelroot Ability to root so if you need root, then DO NOT Update yet!

Thanks for the fast reply KaosMaster.
I don't need root. I am only using it for Titanium Backup Pro, Greenify, and a few others. No custom roms or anything.
I will use the unroot feature in SuperSU, then will uninstall SuperSU.
After looking at my "root" apps, I will probably just uninstall them all, just to be on the safe side. They are easy enough to reinstall once towelroot catches up with the update.
