I use itit has enough features for my use case
@op, I also have the setting pointing to google, but unfortunately, my lock rate is still slow(around 2 to 3 minutes) and it is with GPSJinni running.

It's a bit lame having to use the network positioning to get a lock within an hour! I have found the gps on the n900 to be a bit of an embarrassment, the other day I tried to use it and a friend who has an iphone was there in seconds! I gave up.
What would solution be if there was zero network cover?

That's surprising to me. I do not use aGPS and when I'm outside, normally I get a fix in a minute or two, when I'm not moving. Sometimes less. Only if I'm moving (fast) before I got the fix it can take up to 10 minutes. If you are between skyscrapers or in an forrest, it also can take longer. I use it mostly on my motorcycle with mappero.
