Now, if I start up Google Maps and it's got my last known location (which is Vancouver), I'd have to type in the address or name of the place that I'm in and hope to god that Google will find it, then do another search of what I'm looking for. Instead, if I say use GPS and it locates me via AGPS, then wouldn't that be better?

I suppose. Google maps is often way off with location though. Sometimes almost 10km off for some people. I've had it go maybe 4 or 5km away from where I'm at, which in the search for a close restaurant, could make a big difference! The best thing to do in that case is to ask some locals! :P

But yeah I see what you're saying, I just wanted to be an ***. lol
