I guess even a phone withOUT GPS can detemine what cell tower is closest, cannot it?
the apparently related to GPS part of this is that if the last known GPS location is = to ZERO (as after soft-reset with NEW radio), the Google maps gets confused, and does not even try the cell towers..

Yes, but having it figure out your location to the closest cell tower is better
than in the middle of the ocean off the coast of africa LOL!
Even so, sometimes I need to use Google Maps and get an approx location of my position right away because I don't time to wait 1-1.5 minutes for the GPS to get a real lock. Especially indoors when a real lock may take about 10 minutes. That's what I'm after. Having it pinpoint me in the middle of the ocean doesn't really help much.
