- ExtGPS on N9 still fails (Bluetooth connection established OK, 5230 has got a GPS fix)
- gpsmeefo, N9 car navigator, none of them works, either with internal or external GPS.

Only thing I get is a crappy GSM estimation on Nokia Maps, either from supl.nokia.com or supl.google.com, which I have set alternatively in /etc/xdg/nokia/location-settings.conf
- gpsmeefo shows a few satellites with internal GPS activated again, but does not get a GPS fix.

Anybody out there with the same problem, can this be a hardware problem since a few satellites are seen by gpsmeefo?

And/or is there anybody having successfully used an external GPS device over Bluetooth, what ever model? (using 5230 would not bother me if I have got a hardware problem). Thanks !
How many hours have you kept device outdoors in open area to get the initial gps fix? If its been hours and no big buildings are blocking, then you might have hardware problem, but if its been only tens of minutes or have tried indoors then not. Like if you can see few satelities in gpsmeefo, then it just means that its confused about your location and might get a fix after testing all locations in random order.
