maps = win gps = fail

I spent 20 minutes walking though the city yesterday. From Farringdon to Cannon street. At no time did i get a gps lock - only the cell-location.  So the combination of cell location and maps meant I got where I wanted to go - but had the GPS worked it would of been alot easier.   

Now this is similar to the N95 experience and pretty much all mobile GPS units (esp the ones using low power chips).  But really its not good enough - is it worth adding GPS to devices if it never works in built up areas?
