This week I am in the US visiting from Canada and for some reason my N9 just will not get a GPS lock anywhere... At home in Canada the GPS works quite well and gets a lock very quickly.
I am currently roaming with data turned ON (I have a roaming package). I'm able to access the Internet no problems via 3G, but, nothing with the GPS.
Any thoughts on what it could be? I did add the Google supl server thinking maybe that was part of the issue, but, with the same results.
Any help is appreciated!

I assume you have the option "Device Positioning, Allow device to locate itself using GPS, WLAN and mobile network" in "Settings - Device - GPS and Positioning" enabled?
Did you check
"PrimarySuplAllowRoaming=true"
When you edited the file to change supl-server?

I have some irregularities sometimes in connection to my gps also, normally fixed by restarting the map/drive app but your problem seems much worse. Have you tried any other gps-dependent apps like 4squick etc.?

I have to go back to the US in a week, so, looks like it'll be my iPhone again that week

The US military unhappy with the planned cuts are preparing to invade the US mainland and so have switched off the civilian gps signals.

Could it be that your roaming network actually locks down anything but http? Perhaps to avoid you from using VoIP apps or so, and they also happen to deny supl requests?
How long do you try to get a gps fix (stable location, clear view of about half the sky? You should try for at least 5 minutes.
You could try without a-gps, so without data.
