with the default, supl.nokia.com, it quit locking and surrender with the error message "cannot lock to gps."

Switch to supl.google.com:7276, it locks, 1 sec to several minutes. Add eCoach, it locks most of the time under 1 minute.

I do not know why, but that is the way I am using it. With the current status, It barely functions as a gps, but it functions just right as a tracker, tracks good in where one is going. I know this is NOT gps, but that is what my N900 does, today.
