All of our phones are using aGPS for quicker locks, then rolling over to real sat data

Yep I can confirm this, I was camping in the Backwoods in Colorado all last week and I was trying to get a lock with the phone turned off, since there is no service up there. I have Garmin, TomTom and iGO8 and everyone of the apps took FOREVER to lock with out the phone trying to connect to data. Even though there was no data/voice service where I was, the only way I got a GREAT lock was to turn the phone off of airplane mode. Then I was getting locks in 5-15 sec. But other than that I would only lock on 1 or 2 satilites with phone off and it would drop the signal, but as soon as it turned on it was 7-9 satilite locks.
