Hi,

Posted this seperately from the N97 GPS issues but I'm having similar issues with my N86, namely speed regularly drops to 0, the route is repeatedly recalculated for no obvious reason, the map constantly rotates its orientation (just like being on a waltzer) and my location shifts off road by "some considerable margin" before settling down.

I've also noticed that I often can't get a GPS lock without switching the phone off and back on again after a few seconds. I always gets a fix within 5-10 seconds after a reboot.

I always have the e-mail client in the background but no other apps running.

Has anyone else, apart from the N97 owners (you know who you are) experienced these issues.

I'm running N86-1 on Orange with 10.086 with Maps v3.0.09wk18b01 and map version 0.1.22.103

I got the same problem mate, seems like no one including nokia can answer this right now.

I have the same problem, the phone is now on it's second trip for repair.  I "upgraded" from a N82, with a working GPS.

When I compare my old N82 with the N86, I can se that the N86 drops all connection to the GPS satellites every second minute. (I use the built in program GPS data, looking at satellite data on both devices at the same time, my old N82 stays connected, but the N86 has to recalculate after it has lost the connection every second minute)

This is a real problem for me, I use Nokia Sportstracker to record all my training, and with the N86 I get some rather odd recordings, due to this constant recalculating of the current position. A training (verified) trip for 5 kilometers on N82 can be more than 6 km on N86. This of course gives me a good average speed, but I prefer to record the correct one...

I am now waiting for the return after the second repair period of 4 weeks, maybe they can fix it, otherwise I'll have to buy something that works.

Nokia released a software update v20.115. It isn't available on the website, it must be done through the mobile.

1.Click on applications. 

2.Click SW Update.

3.You will find one update click on(mark the check box).

4.Then install. 

It worked fro me. But another problem came up, when i click tools setting and choose Navigation the  OVI maps software restarts.

Current Software version v20.115 

The GPS stopped working for me, after a hard restart. Any one else facing the same problem.

I can't seem to get any gps functionality whatsoever. GPS Data says No Connection, and ovi maps says no gps data, if I quickly switch to GPS data whilst ovi maps is starting up, GPS data briefly says waiting for satellites or something to that effect before announcing no connection.

Why can't i see the available satellites and the progress of locking on like I could under GPS data for my n95. Other than complete failure of the GPS,quite happy with the phone.

Same problem here. After upgrading to the latest software version and Ovi maps 3.1, In the GPS Data I cannot see "Satellite Status" anymore; instead i see positioning settings. And I'm not able to get the current position. Any solution for the above issue?
