Re: GPS question...

cool i guess thats why i havent gotten locks when im around high rises.
So my remaining question now is...
since the current roms give us verizon users a GPS radio... but ranging from 2-12 min locks on clear skies. (sometimes much longer but let me guess say average 2.5-3.5min 'cold start' lock on my experience for best conditions (hot starts are really fast but thats moot))
1. do we have to wait for a rom/new radio from verizon to improve GPS for us?
2. do we have to just wait for VZW navigator for us VZW users to somehow enable assisted GPS and get super fast locks? will this enable us to somehow change the ServerIP setting and get locks via some computer cell tower that will help us triangulate us.
3. is that HTC ServerIP reg setting assisted GPS? or assisted GPS is the phone service itself and not a specific computer.
4. once better GPS/assisted GPS is available, how would we enable it on our phones?
a. run a PPST type prog (which i am not sure what PPST really does but seems to help Sprint peeps)?
b. change reg setting of ServerIP to match some server to help track your assisted GPS position
c. run VZW prog to somehow enable better GPS/aGPS and then remove the prog (keeping whatever it enabled hopefully)
d. needs a new radio and therefore only a new official rom from verizon that enabled GPS will fix it?
