Help Since 2.3.6 Google Maps & Navigation don't work

I was having issues before the update where I was getting the message "Searching for GPS" for 30 to 60 minutes before it found my location. I downloaded GPS Status app from the market and seems to fix my issue was able to find the GPS location finally. It may fix your issue.

Since 2.3.6 I had the phone not find the GPS signal twice. After about 2 minutes, I turned the phone off and re-started it. That seemed to fix it right away.

However, I've used it a dozen other times with 2.3.6 loaded, and it locks on to the satellites within 30 seconds.
