Re: Enabling A-GPS (Assisted GPS) on WM6.1 ROMS

just a quick point for those of you who are testing this to compare with the reg or without...

Any good GPS will remember the last location and position of the satellites so that it can get a faster fix next time. When I come back to my car after being in a store for a half hour, as soon as I turn on the GPS, it can get a fix in a few seconds. However, if I don't use the GPS, then travel somewhere and turn it on, it will take longer to re-aquaint itself and figure out where I am.

So, the point is that testing it without the reg change, changing it, resetting and trying again might not be a good test, since there's a chance the GPS is simply using the saved information from the test a few minutes ago as a reference point.

A proper test:
Try without the reg change.
Then change the reg entry, and turn off the phone.
Drive about 5-10 miles, turn it on, and get another fix. Compare the time from that to the original.
