[quote=stevedog1;320284] Oh, and to enlighten you. Any A-GPS device (especially our Touch) can work in any of the four above situations at any given time.... A-GPS HAS FOUR MODES. Whether or not it has been rendered incapable of any of them is fully up to the carrier, but either way the fact remains that A-GPS IS CAPAPBLE OF ALL THESE MODES./quote]
yup, and it's real easy to test on the touch- put it in airplane mode (turns off the cell antenna), and the gps still works.
i didn't think that *all* a-gps was capable of all four modes- i was specifically thinking of the gpsone chip used in a whole crapload of phones, but looking at the manufacturer's website, there it is, plain as day. ;D
"Supports multiple modes of GPS, inclusive of standalone..."
