The crappy GPS really annoys me. A few weeks ago when I was abroad, the gps decided to stop working...
It couldn't get a fix, even the a-gps didnt work (didnt connect, while internet was working, roaming was allowed).

A full reset didn't seem to work for my Satio.
What I did was clear the gps data, there is an option somewhere in the service menu.

You might have to wait longer. I often wait 15-20mins for mine to lock on a bad day.

Think the new FW really decreases waiting time...

ive updated my phone to the latest FW
i thought it would solve something

still PGS act funny and crazy sometimes
the recalculating, is known issue
but sometime it shows me that am driving on 10 - 20 meters away from where i am
and even if am not moving, it keeps showing that there is a moving speed

am using garmin

i never had something like this with X1

i purged the data but still

so , what shall i do, wait for another update
or take it to service center?

by the way , in service menu , on PGS test
when i went to setting, there is an option " STANALONE "
and its disabled,
what this thing do??

Is the locking now much faster without AGPS?

Yes, I think the recalculation problem is software related or rather, OS/hardware related. Since it's confirmed that Garmin and Ovi suck on Satio, and people using other phones are not, I can conclude that the problem is related to the OS/hardware.

Alrite guys,
I just discover that Nokia Map keep freeze up my phone everytime i turn it on and i cant use other map app since the Navigation icon still there one way to solve it is to restart my phone.
Since i dont like Nokia map that much SO i just uninstall it ha!(im using 3.03) but to be fair, this only happen after the new firmware
I never have any problems with Sygic and Garmin XT (even after the new firmware) they pick up so fast! and work perfect so i dont miss Nokia map at all
im gonna install the 2010 Sygic .. hm... maybe this weekend hopefully it work just like Sygic 2009 version

I use Sycic 10 and it works like a dream (as good as TomTom).
The GPS in Satio is sooo much better then the one from the C905!

Are you sure? Old FW or latest FW?

I use Nokia Ovi Maps and my speed is 10km/hr when I'm stationary. On the (built-in) position applet, I occasionally see sudden burst of speed to 300km/hr.
