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.

agps is assisted gps i understand that. what im reffering to is the following...I have gmm (google maps mobile) on my blackberry and i have it on my tpro. My bberry 8830 has agps as well...gmm has the option to use cell trianglation or use gps at least on my blackberry. What im talking about is the cell trianglation (a feature built into the agps stadard (when supported by the tower)) doesnt seem to work on my tp. cell trianglation works fine on the berry in the same city. Basically if im in an area with poor gps signal...gmm should default to cell trianglation... and it should tell me "my location" but instead on my tp it just tells me location not availaible....but it should be and i dont see why it wouldnt unless it just simply doesnt work on the tp.
