i have a some questions:

i checked the cities-folders on my n900 (its on the device itself, not on the sd-card), and its around 600 mb.
i downloaded the maps i need (germany for me), and unzipped, they are about 300 mb.
so what should i do? i turned off internet (and set it so that the device always asks me whether it should connect or not) and started maps - after dismissing all the internetconnection-requests, maps still would load and show all the german maps.
so i already have the maps i need? how do i find out?
but its still trying to connect to the internet - why? i saw that i couldnt search for streets when planning a route when i wasnt connected to the internet. so a internetconnection is definitely required even if all the maps are saved on the device?

No. You do not have to connect to get gps lock.

For US location,
Setting>Location>check Enable and change Location server: to supl.google.com:7276>Save
For non US location, ask in this thread. I do not know ther server.

Install eCoach.

When NOT connect, open eCoach>New activity> will help to secure gps lock faster for a cool lock
When Not connect, click the power button on location will help to secure gps lock faster for a warm lock.

Go out to the sky is always the best way to get gps lock

Try Location-test application in Devel. Still for testing purpose and get GPS lock though. Worked great on mine and i used it all the time to get GPS lock with OVI map without A-GPS

The ONLY way to stop the internet connection request is to remove the sim card . If anybody finds out some better way, PLEASE POST!

To use the search function for route, you need to be connected. However, you can search for your destination when online, and save it on the map. And then when OFF line in a car or on the street, you can make route connection from point A to point B as long as you have the saved destination on map. Correct, you need the internet for search, you DO NOT need the internet to use route. I have route to guide me many times.

I know it is a little bit tricky, well, still better than not there.

Setting->Location->Network Position [ ] -> Save
Reboot the device.

This would helped if you are using 42.11 firmware but in the latest firmware it still asking, but less prompting.

Also:

Setting ->Internet Connections ->Always Ask
This to preventing any data usage while running GPS.

Anyone know if creating a symlink from current map location to a location on sd card has any issues like speed etc?

If so, anyone dont it?
