Just because of you, I went into the trouble of digging out my dusted N810. I plugged in, connected wifi, fired up maemo mapper, satellite in view:7 in use:0 , slowly, it started to populated, voila after 5 min 33s, it locked! It fixed, inside a building, with wifi. I disconnected the gps and reconnected it, it took about 20s to get the GPS display back, and it then started to populate the satellite and it all disappeared, and not even one satellite in view, its been 10 min, nothing happened, not even one bar of satellite, I am still waiting.... usually, sometime later, it will lock again. As I keep re-iterate, it locked only if I stay still.

Regarding the clock thing, I use gpsclock and I noticed that it kept on correcting, albeit .5 s or 1 s, a small number, but why it requires constant correction? It has been 22 mins, and no fix and only 2 satellite bars in sight. I am inside a building and I am NOT moving.

It has been 30 min....no luck, if I depends on this thing to go somewhere, I do not think I can hold my temper down.

I have 3 BT gps, 2 new ones and one really really old one. The 2 BT gps lock in seconds, everytime, everywhere, I have never had ant bad experience with them. The really really old one, takes about 4-5 min to get a lock, it takes awhile, but it will lock. I can depend on it to get a lock after 5 min. Not the N810.

Still cant get it fix, its been 42 min, n810/4.2008.30-2

I rebooted the whole thing..., and now the sat bars slowly repopulate, well, I have spent enough time on this thing. It did not work and I run out of energy. Thanks,
