OMG! LORD BRICKS - DID YOU READ?

NO, NO YOU DID NOT!

I know aGPS is not true GPS.

aGPS is what the discussion started out as, however according to HTC the 6700 DOES have a GPS (not an aGPS) chip.

Sorry 'bout the lack of a link from me, posting from my phone between customers at my furniture store - busy day! (as usual)...

I used to use navizon, when it was free, and it did a decent, yet very spotty job of triangulation of towers and wifi spots. It unfortunately required that someone 'map' the area before it would work well. But that wasn't even aGPS data 'cause it was fromactually driving aound w/ a device like ours w/ a bluetooth device and save the data, then upload for other users to use. Neat concept, but slow growth...

That's what made me get interested in aGPS data. But of course now that it's out of the bag about the GPS chip in the phone, who would really want anything less?
