Hi. My GPS can't lock my position anymore. I'm not sure what is wrong, but eCoach,maps or sygic do not work anymore. can't lock position.

I closed sygic during navigation and after that...no GPS lock.

no new apps were installed.

So my plan was/is:
1. restart all apps(ecoach,maps, sygic and wait 5 min) - Done
2.looking for any iprocesses that is stuck. - Done
(anyone know what processes the GPS, (grep ecoach,maps and sygic)
3.reboot n900 - Done
4.Reflash - not done yet, but can this solve gps problem?
5.send the device to nokia.
6.destroy the device an buy x10 and wait for the next meego device with keyboard.

any help/ideas out there?

Have you turned off the network positioning?
Unfortunately the n900 needs this to acquire a lock, or it often gives up before obtaining one.

I've installed gpsjinni because mine would not lock either.
The app will show you the satellites available and when he can communicate with 3 it will lock. The app is in extra's devel (I thought).

good luck
