Nokia :: N97 - Maps Not Working / No GPS Signal

I used to have Maps 2 on my phone until very recently however I upgraded to Maps 3 over the Christmas period, this was working fine while I was in the UK. I have since travelled to Russia (in Moscow) and have had nothing but problems. First of all I am not able to get a GPS signal although when I was here before Christmas (Maps 2) it was working fine. When I start maps I go on line and also have my position set by Network this does not work either. I have done the following since without sucess.

1) I have connected my phone to the computer in Mass storage mode and removed the folder'Cities' and the qf file as stated in the help file.
2) I have reloaded the phone software to my phone.
3) I have reloaded Maps 3 on my phone.
4) I have loaded the Map of Russia on my phone (which takes a good 6 hours due to my company firewall)
5) After this has loaded I have tried my maps on the phone and can see down to street level but my position is not indicated either by GPS or the network (network MTS Vodafone Partner).
6) When the map has loaded from the computer to the phone I can see the map on my phone using the OVI Pc Suite.
7) If I remove my phone from the computer and then reconnect it the OVI Pc Suite says there are no maps on my device.
8) I downloaded Albania and also cyprus before loading Russia again, whilst still connected to my computer I can see all 3 of these maps but if i disconect and connect again it says no maps are on my phone.

I have spent the last 5 days trying to get this to work without sucess. As I am currently working here in Russia this device is invaluable to me but at the moment it is not providing much use apart from taking up my companies bandwith with downloads. I think I posted this on the wrong board earlier, Since then I have downloaded the UK map and this time after it downloaded I could see it in the OVI Pc Suite, I opened maps on the phone while still connected to the computer and after I closed it OVI Suite said there where no Maps on my device although there are. I am still not getting a GPS signal I even left the phone on the window sill for one whole night with no obstructions and still never got a GPS signal.
