thought of sharing with the community as i found this was very useful. the new app from ovi store was also very cool and great !!!!!@try it out
happy and proud n900 user as always........

the new app in OVI store was EARTHMOVER, this does not do anything with the gps settings. it finds lot of places like free wifi, hotels and more which is very useful.
i did some search here but didn't find the solution here for the gps settingsas i found in some blog and it was working fine i thought to share here. if it is re post i apologize and admins please delete my thread.
Thanks,
RR

it has enough features for my use case@op, I also have the setting pointing to google, but unfortunately, my lock rate is still slow(around 2 to 3 minutes) and it is with GPSJinni running.

well, if you only go to Settings--> Location
enable Network positioning and change the server to " supl.google.com"
GPS lock was in 2 secs.. I haven't tried navigating or anything though..
great stuff!!
