ah, well, if it believes its in Helsinki, it'll be looking for the wrong satellites ;)
Would explain the few visible sats, its finding them on the horizon.

Beats me why else it shouldn't work. From a cold start, my GPS can get 4 to 8 in a minute even in my densely wooded + hilly area.

No this is not the case, it's just that Europe is its default starting point location. But then, it does try to find satellites, it just doesn't lock-in.

Yes, I quite understand that. My GPS can take ages if I don't reset it and give it location + time, then it knows which sats might be where, and finds them quickly.

I just looked through the manual for the n95, couldn't see anything about resetting the GPS. Maybe its related to the time / world clock (set as current city) options?

For cases where it just has to find the sats, it shouldn't take more than 6 minutes.
Otherwise it's broken or you're blocking the signal.
