As you said it was already quite fast for you in Amsterdam but I figured I'd give it a try. How long should a GPS-lock take at the very least anyway? It takes about 20 seconds for me on average, which isn't a lot but I'd still wish it could be about half that time.

By starting Google maps 1st your device will lock on GPS much faster. Then all you have to do when you find enough satellites is exiting Google maps. This will hopefully solve GPS-lockdown-waiting-time for OVI maps. Try this instead, start google maps, then start Ovi maps. By starting Google maps 1st your device will lock on GPS much faster.

Chances are, Nokia doesn't have permission to use google's agps server, so the agps request is denied, and this causes the Maps program to crash for some. The denial from google is probably more prevalent in certain areas where the google servers are wise to this new Nokia trick.
