I had the same problem while i was in Amsterdam. I bought a dedicated BlueTooth GPS with Sirf III chipset. Works perfect, fast lock, always have a lock, and don't lose lock either. They're sold on eBay (UK & DE) for 10-30 EUR.

If it takes a long time till satelites are visible you should try AGPS.

Also, there are reports minigpsd improves the internal GPS.
