Goofy name, but try "GPS AIDS" from the market and see if that helps at all...

Or, it might need the connectors for the gps aerial bending slightly, as they are made of a weak metal, and get pressed in over time in. There are several threads about it.

I did the fix on mine, and the gps works brilliantly now!

Hope this helps
