I think it is AGPS working when it does this. Every time it does it, it's the same position. probably a tower position. I never saw this behavior until I fiddled with GPS Reg settings.

I don't think you can partial GPS positions from Sats that far off and that consistently.

I've also seen it get an assisted position one day and stuck in africa the next.

The assisted stuff seems a little shakey and it doesn't seem to help speed up getting SAT locks. Where it should.
