You can also try applications like GPS Status & Toolbox <https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.eclipsim.gpsstatus2> , which speed up the fixing, by forcing position update via a forced A-GPS data download. This app runs as a background process and checks if data files are too old; if this happens, a fresh copy is automatically downloaded; you can also force a data refresh manually, if you want. ...And don't worry about traffic consumption, even if you are abroad: once downloaded, A-GPS data are valid for several days, so you can do a manual update whenever you are under a wi-fi hotspot (i.e. Hotel, restaurant, etc.) without impact on your data plan.
