I too was having SIGNIFICANT delay with GPS location. Found on the thunderbolt forum that powering off device, pulling battery and sim card then reinstalling may help. tried it and so far so good.
Huh, guess I got lucky! I've been checking it constantly since doing it. Now at work and it still seems OK.

This did nothing for me. 111 seconds time to first fix.

yeah me neither - I think it was just coincidence it worked for me that first time. I rooted and loaded up a custom ROM that was supposed to have a GPS locking fix ... still no luck.
Between this and the battery life I am afraid this thing is gonna have to go back
Try installing GPS status and tool box, I had problems too and they seem to be solved by using this other app to run the GPS on the phone
Instructions to fix Thunderbolt: Install GPS Status from the market, then: Menu -> Tools -> Manage AGPS -> Reset Menu -> Tools -> Manage AGPS -> Download
So far so good for me, I have been majorly frustrated with verizon over this issue.
I'm having GPS problems. First, I'm not sure what the difference is other than it doesn't seem as accurate but the google location services work fine. However when I just have the standalone location services turned on, it doesn't work. The Sense clock widget doesn't get location data, nor does maps.
I've read some threads and started up maps and left it alone for 25 minutes now and still no location. The status bar has the satellite on it saying it's trying to get location though. Does it sometimes take over 30 minutes for this to initialize? Is there something I'm missing?
Thanks for any help
