Ok, this can be done, but why? I could see doing this with an N800 because it doesn't have a built in gps, but the N810 does? Am I missing something here?

The N810 takes about 10 mins to get a gps lock.
I have a HTC Touch Pro...it takes about 3 seconds to get a lock...SERIOUSLY about 2 to 3 seconds.

The reason is very simple: it uses A-GPS and it uses the GSM pole positions to assist to a quick fix. I have the same with the Nokia 5800. But I tested it in an area without GSM coverage and after 30 minutes walking NO FIX with the 5800. I tested both the N810 and 5800 (the latter with A-GPS disabled) and the N810 fixed even earlier (but stll after several minutes).
So I think the N810 and phones with GPS have a poor GPS unit. That is why I use a Bluetooth GPS which fixes within a few minutes in the worst case and many times within a minute, without GSM network.
Bluetooth connection works fine (I use it to tether), an E71's shows GPS's location almost immediatly. However when I launch wayfinder on the N810 with a paired E71 it seems to never get a lock.
Am I missing something?
thanks, soprano
