Yes. I do have the same problem.

I don't have data connection so I unchecked the Network Positioning (and A-GPS).

Also when you start the MAPS application, it straight away connects to maps.ovi.com before actually starting the GPS.

Also it won't show the location you are at present unless you ask for directions. And that it starts from the previous location you set or used the GPS last time.

It needs some fix. I also tried changing it to supl.google.com. I don't see any added benefit.
