I can be receiving location/GPS data with high accuracy (e.g. 6 meters) for quite a while (e.g. 1 or 2 minutes) before I ever receive a geolocator_StatusChanged event indicating PositionStatus is Ready. Also, even when I set the Geolocator's ReportInterval = 2000; (2seconds) the Geolocator's PositionChanged event does not fire anywhere near a frequently as I ask for. Any insights would be appreciated? I see a similar issue as Hans reported, the StatusChanged event does not fire in a timely manner.

I also downloaded the sample in this article, and it does the same thing. I need to restart the app to get the event to fire again. Is this by design, or am I missing something? Have been at this for a couple of hours now, and I cant figure it out...
