Same on both progs (yes everything up to date inc maps)
Is that device perhaps sensitive to WiFi signals? I can't imagine any other reason why a external GPS device should have different lock-on behaviour with different computers, if we can rule out non-standard protocols (which we can if you once managed to get a fix - the N800 doesn't have drivers for non-standard devices, so it would not work at all).
