I think youve got agps and google gps confused

AGPS works with ur GPS drivers to get a more accurate position for you. Google GPS as I called it comes built in with google maps which uses cell towers to tell you approximately where you are on a map based on which cell phone towers you are near. Essentially aGPS is the same thing except aGPS is used for acquiring a GPS signal while google gps can be used without a GPS chip at all.

Now about the "unavailable" error, i know that when i am in the city i get google to tell me where i am without GPS enabled within 1000 meters all the time. When I am up state google sometimes tells me, sometimes doesnt. Because google says "location unavailable" does not mean aGPS is off because they are two separate things.


try taking a car somewhere else and see if google gps works there.
