Also, my method is exactly as yours, i click on a cache, download details and then click from the top menu "set as target". I get the yellow line on the map from my position to the cache, but no gps arrow, or anything in the gps view. How I find the caches then? In the map view, by constantly clicking the map, thus "manually updating" my position on the map.

My position on the map is accurate, and even other applications (eCoach, Ovi maps) show my position accurately.

I am running the latest firmware PR1.2 and the latest AGTL available from the catalogs. Same problem occurred even before the latest AGTL update, which fixed the cache detail downloads. I have network positioning enabled and the location server is supl.nokia.com. I use 2G/3G applet to switch to 3G when geocaching. I also have the power user kernel installed and have OC'd to 900MHz. In case any of these have some impact on this issue.

webhamster: is there any way I could set up a debug log, for example in the config file, to get some debug information out, to look into this? Or any other way to debug it; note that I do not have any devel tools installed yet, though I've downloaded the maemo sdk image and am tempted to start maemo developing.

As a sidenote; I also tried today adding google maps as a map source, based on your blog post, but so far haven't been able to switch to those maps. It just seems to keep showing open street maps even though I've selected google maps. Maybe something wrong with my config, I need to check that, when I have time.
I've not got any reports from any other user with this problem. If you want to see the debug messages, please run AGTL from the command line:
- open xterm (press ctrl+shift+x)
- type python2.5 /opt/advancedcaching/core.py --hildon > debug.log 2>&1

Then use AGTL a few minutes. This will produce a file called debug.log, which you can post here.

You can also try and see if the problem is not related to the GPS, but to the display. For this purpose, a GPS simulation is built in. To run it, type
python2.5 /opt/advancedcaching/core.py --hildon --sim
and check if you get a GPS fix (at least most of the time).
