Any phone with GPS capabilities can do that .I have tested sygic maps( Map My India) on Nokia 5230,5800,Samsung Spica ,iPhone4.
All of them get gps lock in less than 3 mins ,iPhone is the fastest to get a GPS lock.The maps in India are not upto the level of what you get in US or NZ.It is good for driving to the streets and not house numbers.

why not buy one standalone mini gps module??
Those with sirf chips give really great lock times
the chip on my nok 6220 works great under clear sky only...
Indoors and cloudy sky almost kills it
if you are serious about navigation need buy a standalone module
should be cheap from US

if you already have a smartphone with support for external GPS modules then this should solve all your problems:

as it has sirf 3 chip you can rest easy
PS: earlier several HTC mobiles had sirf chips but now i don't think they use them (cost cutting
??)
and of course GOOGLE is your friend

My Nokia C5 Locks really fast
It even locks indoors inside buildings if I am around 5-6 feet from the Window....
Followed directions while driving from Ahmedabad to Delhi and not once did it fail me... Correct accurate routes, speed of vehicle ... It even helped me navigate Jaipur's packed traffic... Best was it being able to tell me correct direction in a crossing with around 5 exits
