Re: GPS without cell reception

I've tried a number of programs, including "GPS status" "GPS test" and Oruxmaps. None work.

I know for some of these devices, the last location with a cell connection is used to determine which satellites to seek (something to that effect anyways). I'm thinking maybe since the last service location was literally on the other side of the globe, the whole thing just fails. The hardware is working fine otherwise.

So some offline version of quickgps where you can manually enter your approximate lat/long would be great, but I dont even know how the thing really works, tbh.
