If your gps never seems to activate install Google maps and run it, it seems to force the GPS to connect then open maps, maps will take a few seconds to find the already connected satellites and you should be good to go, close Gmaps or not if you want.

If you've done everything in the help topics here then its likely your N95 GPS is faulty, or you have a fake N95.

EDIT: Hah! Crossed postings, seems like you got yourself sorted!

Try running GPS and Maps at the same time,this apparently kicks it into gear!! If you still can't get it to work go back to where you got phone from and ask for a replacement.How long have you had the phone.There is only so much you can try.

Really? Wow, thats a shame - is A-GPS enabled by default on V21 (or has yours somehow become diasbled?). From what others have been saying I thought V21 was the best yet for GPS?
