When I try to use the GPS receiver I need a lot of time before get the
position, after the receiver work fine. I got the same behaviour using
TomTom.

So I suppose that is not e GPS Nokia Receiver problem.

When I try to switch from map to Maemo Mapper without deactivate the
GPS receiver so Maemo Mapper spend only few seconds to found the GPS
module because the posistion is already know.
