I have no idea.

This is just my observation. I have a feeling it may have something to do with the registry key TimeBetweenFixes which is at 1. Not sure what this key actually does, but my guess is that the value specified (whether in hours or days or whatever) is the expiry time for the downloaded data. In other words, the time elapsed in which the GPS will need to reacquire satellite information.

DISCLAIMER: This is just my guess so I could be way off base.

If it was somewhere near there, I would expect a map with blue (to indicated water) and if I zoomed out far enough, probably see the coast of Africa. However, no amount of zooming out will give me any indication of where I am. Just magnifying glasses with a minus sign in them no matter what I do.

Yeah, that one got me confused. As a test, I removed the server IP and port in the SUPL AGPS and soft-reset. So now no AGPS is used right? Then I started google maps, searched for my home address which is about 30km away from where I am (at work), selected Use GPS and guess what happened next? IT FOUND MY APPROX. POSITION!!! 1 km away from my work place! I looked at the blue status message on the top right and it said Seeking GPS Satellites (0).... So I've removed the AGPS server, and yet it still found my approx. location.

> btw, do not you know where to get this QPST?

QPST is a commercial app and considered warez and risk possible banning if I say anything more about it so I'll leave it at that.

> so far it is compatible with my obsrervations...

Personally, if my GPS takes more than a minute to get a fix (cold) then AGPS is not working. It should be in the range of 20-30 seconds which is what my N95 can do when I upgraded it's firmware to support AGPS.
