i always take my phone outside whenever i want 2 use gps cuz it gets locked on faster that way.these are screenshots

@lynxnoon,just configure all other browsers on ur pc (IE,OPERA,CHROME et al) same as u did ur firefox and fire d updater when d speed is okay at nite.
@honsule,i think ur phone's gps has an hardware issue but if u think otherwise install ur phone's latest firmware and lets see what happens.
I will post some screenshots of how my phone's gps (nokia E66) functions

It is also worthy of note 2 know dat this garmin nigeria has turn by turn voice guidance when routing which is totally free of charge unlike nokia maps which u have 2 subscribe for.

@Lynxnoon,ur nokia maps updater makes use of ur pc default browser so if ur default browser ain't browsing there is no way in d world ur nokia updater is going 2 connect
@honsule,i suggest u see d phone techs or go 2 nokia care ,they might proffer a solution

China

Honsule,ur friend might have switched on his gps some minutes earlier than u did yours and it takes about 5 mins 4 gps 2 get locked on in nokia phones,and as 4 d full signal reception u might be blocking ur gps antennae with ur hands or be in a place where ur phone doesn't have a direct view of d sky.hope this helps
