I can get a fix indoors (upstairs) without being near a window. Does take between 2 & 4 minutes though.

That's a bug that's marked FIXED:

And until that fix is released, I've been opening another app (maep, location-test-gui) to get a fix before I open Nokia Maps. It's a few more clicks but no big deal.
