For me, I don't mind paying for 3G data. The problem is in rural areas, and especially in houses in rural villages, there isn't a data signal half the time, especially when I'm most in need of knowing where I am :-)
Here in the UK, it seems in rural areas there are plenty of places with very poor signal, and in those, often only a subset of networks are available, which means whichever one you've got a SIM for isn't, sometimes. None of the networks are immune to this.
They all claim "99% coverage", but the small print explains it means "99% population", which translates as "all major population centres", not remote rural areas or even outlying villages. While it covers 99% of people at any given time, much more than 1% of people find themselves without a signal at some time or other, when travelling...

I too get this locking problem. It takes more than 10 minutes to identify the location you're in.
How do I change the settings of Location Server? I don't find them under Settings..>Location

If you have a GPS problem, try this:
1-deactivate all programs/software/widgets that use GPS
2-disable GPS (internal & server)
3-reboot
4-activate GPS
My GPS hasn't been working ever since I got the device. I've started up OVI Maps in several places (indoors and outdoors) and have never got a signal.

i believe that's incorrect. a-gps involves data traffic, ie you're being charged. from what i've read it's only a few kB, but nevertheless.

I am located in NY, however my N900 takes forever to lock and when it does, it friggin tells me I am in Valencia Spain! I assumed it was some sort of factory default but I have been unable to fix it
I got the same thing
location server - supl.google.com
internet connection - epc.tmobile.net
and i am getting a location very quickly - even indoors - now for a better mapping utility...
