I also think it works very well and fast. If I cold start my BT GPS receiver, it takes maybe about 30 seconds or more to boot up and acquire satellites. With the assisted GPS on the 800w, it takes about 2-3 seconds for it to acquire satellites from a cold start. Of course, it is Assisted GPS, so it will require Sprint's network. But it should be no problem, unless I happen to want to travel to the deep Borneo jungle.
