GPS lock and E911

[qbunnie]

Okay, so this whole GPS thing is rather confusing, between the different modes of aGPS and if aGPS is better than standalone GPS or not, etc., etc.

I really just have 1 question, and hopefully there is a good answer with a reasonable explanation (I really am asking for too much....)

My phone sometimes takes a loooong time locking onto a GPS signal when in Live maps or Google maps. Like, 5-10 minutes. It does lock on, just not very quickly. Most of the time (80% or so) it locks within 30 seconds, though, so that's pretty good.

The question is if I dial 911, does the above phenomenon make a difference? Or does E911 use a separate process entirely?

I don't have a landline so I do count on E911 knowing where I am in case I am alone and choking or some other crazy random happenstance.

QuickGPS does update regularly, fyi.

OK, thanks in advance.
