Apparently when the OS was upgraded the AGPS daemon wasn't restarted. Now everything is back to as good as the N810 GPS can manage.
I found that one of the recent updates to AGPS prevented me from getting a fix until I had rebooted the device. THen all was well. Worth knowing if MAP or AGPS updates are done separately to an OS upgrade which will presumably always result in a reboot.
