Still seeing 2+ minutes for acquire from a location that's less than 10 feet from the last location - after the initial "fix"; however I'm now connecting to 5-7 satellites, whereas before I had only acquired 3-5 (tops).

Using an external GPS I can get a lock _very_ quickly regardless of the time-bug in gpsd, so I doubt this will change acquisition times.

The patch by jussik has done wonders for the gps in my 810. I can now consistantly get a lock with 810 in under 30 seconds even when moving 4 or 5 miles from my previous lock. If I don't move far from my last lock it locks almost instantly. When not moving far it actually takes longer for maemo mapper to connect to the gps than to get the lock.
Great Work!!!
Great Work!!!

I unfortunately am not seeing a difference with the new gpsd. Still taking forever to obtain a fix.

I get quicker fixes, too... of course the first fix after the gpsd install was lazy, but then it I switched off the device and 10min later I switched it back on and had a fix in maybe 20s

First impressions for me are it's quicker. Though I need to test it over a few days to be sure I'm not imagining it.
How do you actually confirm that the patched version is installed by the way ?
I am trying to reinstall and it it gives me errors of unable to install or file currupted.
But I don't think it is currupted, just confused...
Initially, it used to say needs another 12K on install, but now it says needs 0K so I'm guessing it's properly installed now.
I've turned on red pill mode...

Now the package on http://folks.o-hand.com/jku/osso-gpsd/ has version "1.0-25-jku0" instead of the original "1.0-25". Check with "apt-cache show osso-gpsd" in shell, or using Application Manager (I assume red pill shows you all installed packages).

To add another data point. After installing the new
gpsd, rebooting, it took about 3.5 minutes to acquire
the position.
I turned off maemo mapper, rebooted again, restarted
mapper.
Acquired location in about 15 seconds.
Seems to be a definite improvement to me.
(But - has anyone noticed that sometimes position
simply will not be acquired until the unit is rebooted?)
