pavlov0161, I've read on the forums about positioning your N810 to get the best/quickest gps fix. Try holding your N810 completely upright (so the power button on the top faces straight up) while holding it towards the south. When doing this, I've noticed I get a decent gps fix in about a minute when using either the N810's map application (from navicore/wayfinder) or maemo mapper.

And another note, you can delete the US/Canada maps from your device to free up space on your internal memory card. Open up the N810's file manager and click on "Internal memory card", click on map, then click mapdata_USA-West and delete it by clicking the trash can on the lower panel. Deleting "mapdata_USA-West" frees up over 700MB of storage on the card. If you don't want Canada-Alaska and USA-East you can delete those as well. I'd recommend making a backup to your computer before deleting just in case you decide you want/need them back on your N810.

It also might be a good idea to format your internal memory card as some N810's had data corruption errors with the internal memory card. That might be what was originally causing your map download to fail.
