N900 GPS Problems
 
I was wondering if people are still having problems getting a GPS lock with Ovi maps even after the update, it seems comments on the GPS have died down and i'm starting to think that my devices hardware is faulty.

Terrible GPS
 
Anyone else got this issue? The GPS is dire - it takes 5 mins to get a lock, Even when you do get a lock it fails to track you. Ovi maps is still insanely slow and ecoach usless because the GPS doesn't track you. I used to use GPS regularly on my N82 and Samsung Galaxy - the GPS on the N900 is effectively usless.

Anyone else got these issues? This needs to be fixed if possible (On top of MMS, portrait SMS/Media player etc)

Nope...with just GPS it tracks me within 15 seconds indoors and within 10 seconds outdoors. With A-GPS (with the internet connection on) it takes outsides roughly 4 seconds... and the tracking is great!

Make sure from the settings->location that you are using also the network based positioning.

Try to change supl.nokia.com to supl.google.com. That's worked for some people... I've had no problems...
