Hi, first, Ovi Maps 3.04 is now available, second most of my UK maps were updated last week, check for latest maps for your region, And finally check your settings in the location app in applications. Also if you are only using intergrated GPS  to navigate, it takes longer to lock on (up to 15 minutes) so if you can stand in an open  area with 'my location' open for ten minutes you should get a good lock, after which you'll find it will lock quicker (don't know why, it just does).

Good Luck

you could change your GPS positioning setting to network based + integrated, that should speed up positioning when you turn on maps.

Thanks for your help, now I am able to use the maps without any errors, Last week end I used the drive option of the map and I had no issues with it, but today when I used the drive option, "waiting for GPS" messages is shown....this is not getting changed even after 30 mins,.....

have you got "network" selected in positioning? if you have then it shouldnt take that long. maybe your network provider doesnt offer that service.

If you are not getting GPS signal for 30 minutes, you should move to another spot...try a park with no big buildings around.

I also find that it catches signal faster if I'm stationary as opposed to when I'm moving/driving.
