Google Maps take a long time to load

when i try to load my custom-made app, it takes a long time before it locates me. I know it would be dependent on the Network Provider and the GPS. But some Apps like Maps locate me much faster (with the same setting and device). Is it because I am trying out stuffs from a free source? Will a subscribed map API from Google Inc load the map faster?

Does anybody experience the same problem? Any thoughts on the solution?

If it eventually grabs your location, it's not your fault it's going slow (unless you have the requestLocationUpdates() delay set obnoxiously high, which is doubtful). I've been using the GPS in several of my apps, and I've seen it take less than a second for a location fix, but I've also seen it take over 10 minutes on other devices.

I don't think it's a problem with your maps, though. Sure, maybe Google's map API loads a tiny bit faster; but I don't think that's your issue here.
