Yep, and 99% of the mapping programs for PPC are worthless without cell reception too because they rely on a data connection to show you the map. So, for most of us it works well. Also with regular GPS you need a satellite view which is impossible indoors and very hard in a car if you aren't holding your phone up to the windshield.

There are pluses and minuses to both approaches but if Sprint enables A-GPS I will be more than happy.
