Please don't hijack this thread with questions about Vito. That was not my intent . Post all questions about Vito in the proper thread. Thanks.
Awww...can't I hijack my own thread? j/k'ing.

So, my argument is that for the "assisted" portion of the A-GPS to work, one needs a data connection...why do I say this? Because, DATA is being relayed to the phone, (and vice versa). Remember the experiment I mentioned above...here are my results, (tested last night).

1) NO DATA CONNECTION, WI-FI connected, in my basement. Fired up Google Maps, clicked "Use GPS" and...nothing...wait...nothing...10 mins later, 0 satellites. Reset with Stylus to ensure "clean comparison".

2) Data connection on, Wi-Fi off, same place. Started the Data Connection by looking at the weather plugin in HTC Home. Then, fired up Google Maps, clicked "Use GPS" and...30 seconds later, 4 satellites. 2 mins later and it had between 4-7 (fluctuating) satellites.

Comments?
