I have some experience with 2008.8/9. Since I upgrades to 2008.9 I had more difficulties but since I found out that settings doesnt show current status of gps-power example if wake up from standby (its always off no matter what shown). I get a fix after approx. 2min when enter outside best not to close to house wall. I also have external antenna which is more reliable and can see and track more sattelites. Once I thought that gpsd was not runnning when I had problems but since I keep focus on it it always run (I expect the problem was power that was off). The most frequent problem I have now is that tangogps crash with segment fault after run for a while. Didn't have time to investigate that.
