Re: Way to get GPS working (aGPS fix) without custom ROM?

I have an xv6800 on verizon without a data plan and here are my results.

The PDE infomation won't be pulled if you use wifi. You do need to have a #777 data connection to use aGPS. Since I don't have a data plan I set in the registry to be a standalone GPS device. It takes me 30 to 45 seconds with a direct line of sight in the sky to get a lock, but it works when I want it to.

I use the Holux GPS Viewer to pull the satellite information an then I switch to Garmin for the maps. Definitely recommed Garmin as a non data dependant GPS application!
