OK something else too. Anyone who has HTC, Iphone etc. do you manage to get lock without a network and how much time you need?
PLZ try n900 and your other phone (not a nokia) side by side and try the GPS
thanx

Those with GPS problems
Have you try getting Location Test?
If you can post your results maybe it would help.
My result:
Satellites in view: 15, in use: 4
Accuracy: 28m
This was with network.
I'm going to do one without network.

With A-GPS I clicked the power button on the maps widget and got lock on before I thought it had loaded, 3-4 seconds max. I was utterly impressed after having waits of 1-2mins on my 5800. Hell this was indoor aswell. (Although not impressed by the hideous 'ovi' map application, the only thing I missed from s60 and I'm so impressed with the rest of the phone its not leaving much of a mark).

Am I correct in assuming that if the N900 GPS can't get a fix (I'm indoors at the moment) it should use cell-tower triangulation? Or is this not the case? Per this wiki entry:

Doesn't seem to work...

Check you have the most up-to-date version of pc suite. There have been new updates in the last couple of days. Can't be sure of win7 but I can connect fine to vista and XP. (Ovi suite is not supported)
Don't have my n900 yet, but I'll let you know on friday. I run 7 on all my machines.

Neither does mine. No fix even in an intermittent 3.5 G area.

N900's GPS is a Hardware issue or software?

I checked later last night, and it located me about 2 houses down from where I am. Said it was a GPS fix. But I haven't seen an A-GPS fix yet.
