Anyone know what the message "cached data is not valid" means under the new Info window?

The magic GPS fix is a 3rd party GPS (e.g. via BlueTooth). With or without A-GPS, this will be very fast if you buy a GPS with a Sirf-III or MTK chipset.
The update for A-GPS is actually useful because now you can see if the thing is functioning. This was huge feature which was lacking IMO. So I'm happy with the new beta thus far.

Yeah, I'm happy with the update. It's nice to get some feedback that it's actually doing something, and see whether or not it needs to go online.

Why can't they give the option of setting the location by, say, location where your clock is set? Or some lat long entry?
If I touch the screen just a little off I'm off by several degrees, which is quite a distance.

Skyhook Wireless API might work, but there is no support for it on the NIT (yet).
What they could do is 'zoom in' on the area covered by timezone + country. This is a lot smaller than the (huuuge) world map already.

Anyone know what's new in the latest agps update that was just released?

I got it with SSU update. They don't offer updates to all users at the same time. I'd think you'll be seeing it. The deb file name is agps-ui_0.11-1beta_armel.deb and it's at http://catalogue.tableteer.nokia.com...ser/a/agps-ui/ if you don't want to wait.

If someone fancies trying any of these, all you need to do is write the lat/long/time to a gconf entry
