- if it will cost anything (how much time does AGPS really need - is it only during initialisation of GPS, or it connects periodically during the GPS use too?)
- and if this PDE IP server will be accessible from the US at all..
( if not, not a big deal, one still can survive without AGPS,
just to wait some more minutes while plain GPS obtains a fix..)

I am currently running the new Bell radio settings with DH's rom. With the data connection turned off, whenever I initialize TomTom, the data connection turns on and gets instant satellite locks. I can close out of TomTom, turn off data connection and open it up again and it works fine. I downloaded the "no gps" cab from Modaco and tried it with data connection turned off. TomTom can't get anything. So I'm assuming it needs data connection to get the instant locks (agps?). So going to the States would incur a small roaming charge if you remember to turn off the data connection once you launch a gps program. I'm going to the States this weekend so I'll see when I get back.
