GPS works in trouser pocket !

Like many people I found the GPS slow to pick up a signal.

So, following the manual, I initially wandered around the countryside with the thing in front me and probably looked like I was in an egg and spoon race.

Set up a few waypoints, and marched off in general direction. Put N95 in shirt pocket expecting it to lose the signal - but it kept it. Same thing when put it trouser pocket. Yet to try inside underpants etc ......

OK so this was open country not in a town but I was pleasantly surprised - and this is still v11 t-mob phone, not AGPS or whatever.

Yes, when asked to go to current position mine says 'nestling sadately on right thigh'😊 😊
