this issue isnt in pr1.3...
one way to speed up the lock is to change your system language from text input...
e.g. you are on english (uk) change it to english (us)...the system will reboot...then change it back to english (uk) again...after a reboot try the drive app...it should lock and load much faster than before...

Nothing wrong with my GPS after PR 1.3. Didn't have any problems with PR 1.2, either.
You do have an active internet connection when searching for your position? And you have calibrated your compass by swirling your phone? And you aren't far away from your last known position when testing?
I actually think my time to lock, when I'm nowhere near my last known position, has decreased with PR1.3.
Some information on slow lock without an internet connection here.

Like I mentioned, I can still get a GPS lock within a reasonable if slightly slower time than before, it just doesn't hold as it did on 1.2.

I hate to say it, but if I want reliable GPS then CoPilot on the iPhone has proven to be a better (albeit not free) solution. In Nokia Drive's defense, zooming around in it is much faster, and you get 3D buildings.
Prior to 1.3 Nokia Drive has been flawless with regards to near instant GPS lock(never more than 10 seconds) and holding an extremely accurate lock to my position when using Drive navigation.
However since updating to PR1.3 it's all over the place. Still locks onto my location fairly quickly(less than 15 seconds on average, but slower than previously), but the GPS lock is horrendous jumping my exact location all over the place(within fairly close proximity), and while driving often switching my view to another road I'm not driving on
Is this a new PR1.3 bug or am I alone with this new issue? Hadn't had this issue once until now but over two days testing it's constistently like it.
