Though I agree that the N810 is not as good a GPS is most others, once the AGPS package had bee installed my experience was much better than what you are reporting. You have not indicated if you had the AGPS package installed. Last I knew, it was not a standard package. If you didn't make a point to install it, its not there. Without it, it is my impression that you always get a cold start. Response to some other comments: It is well documented that GPS's typically assume that they are restarted near where they where last used. The documentation of every GPS I have ever bought says that if you turn it off and then transport it a long distance before turning it on again, it will take much longer to get a fix. The N810 without the AGPS package seems not able to do even this simple trick. Though I've never seen any problem with slow movement, I have seen (esp. on the N810) that highway speeds can hinder an initial fix. Cheers!
