Are you guys using the N900 with a SIM and a data plan on it? The GPS on most phones are Assisted-GPS chips. That means that IF there is a network connection, they will use SUPL servers to reduce the time of fix to a bare few seconds. But if there is no data connection, then they will behave as regular GPSes and the time for the fix can go up to 20-30 mins.
Do not compare these GPS chips with the ones in specialized navigators as they tend to be much more optimized and they usually store some data locally or have a better antenna, not really sure, but they are designed to get a fix asap [that's what you also pay for!]. I do have a data plan and I get a fix, every time, in seconds. Aniello 2009/11/30 Michael Stepanov <[email protected]>: > It'd be really bad if the GPS chip will be weak as on N810.
