I can't complain. I rarely need GPS to find my way around indoors and the nav software is working fine outdoors.

I'm just missing the snappy performance provided by gc14's tutorial.
I think it is more important that you soft reset which seems to help if you are having problems locking, whether that be using *228, soft reset button, or pulling the battery. Outdoors seems to be nearly the only way to get a lock now reliably. I can see five inside but no lock.

I am testing the other aGPS server IP addresses and will report back later. Seems to be faster, but from what I remember you need 8 hours or so for your phone to have a true cold start. Outside I was getting immediate to 30 second locks too, a bit faster with Alltel settings rather than VZW. No better inside with Alltel.

Thanks to IIIboredIII for some input to get me going in the right direction.
