#1.What I mean by always on is. Example.. This program "Vitofindme" would not work unless I had a active sat connection through live search or Google maps prior to running Vito. But since the reg edit I don't need to launch them. This I'm thinking is a-GPS through my radio so if my phones on so is a-GPS.
**"An a-GPS reciver receiver can address these problems in several ways, using an Assistance Server:
, The Assistance Server can locate the phone roughly by what cell site it is connected to on the cellular network.
, The Assistance Server has a good satellite signal, and lots of computation power, so it can compare fragmentary signals relayed to it by cell phones, with the satellite signal it receives directly, and then inform the cell phone or emergency services of the cell phone's position.
, It can supply orbital data for the GPS satellites to the cell phone, enabling the cell phone to lock to the satellites when it otherwise could not, and autonomously calculate its position.
, It can have better knowledge of ionospheric conditions and other errors affecting the GPS signal than the cell phone alone, enabling more precise calculation of position.
#2 The GPS always worked without a data connection. The only reason you have a active data connection with livesearch or Google maps is to load your visual map off the web such as satellite view or road view, not your gps position. Or you would just be a blue ball moving in a big brown field.
#3 It works for what I need it to do.
