Cell ID (500 - 1000m) < aGPS (5-10m). aGPS is GPS, with either location calculated at server (PDE) or at the MS, assisted by info from the server (satellite ephemeris, altitude database, etc). From what your saying, it's hard to know whether you're getting the benefit of aGPS. Without a way to examine messages over the control plane, I don't know of any real way to tell (except by time). When I had aGPS working well on my Mogul, I would consistently (>80% at least) get GPS quality locks in under 10 seconds.

Anyway, interesting conversation (if I haven't hijacked the thread).
