A-GPS -- Why does it make everything worse?

[aydc]

Isn't A-GPS supposed to be a good thing? My experience with it so far shows navigation programs losing GPS connection frequently and no speed up in getting a GPS fix.

Am I missing something here? Is A-GPS in Diamond broken? Has anyone been able to make it work like it's supposed to?

How do you even turn it on?

How do you come to the conclusion the A in A-GPS is the culprit here?

I have the same problem. When I enable assisted GPS in advanced config, both IGO8 and TomTom losing GPS-signal frequently. Disabling assisted GPS makes the problem disappear and the GPS works again.

I turn it on using Advanced Config and GPS performance takes a sharp turn towards terrible...

I turn it off and GPS improves considerably.

Shoouldn't it be the other way around? I mean... A-GPS is Assisted GPS, right? Or is it Awful GPS? :)

Look, A-GPS you know what it is. To make it work, you have to use service providers software 'cause it works from cellular towers rather sat. itself.:D

[aragornol]

Unless your provider support A-GPS you can`t get any benefit from it. That`s all.

I can use A-GPS here and get a fix very quickly - even inside a building so it is very useful for me. I haven't had any drop out issues either.

is there any particular service providers that it works well with?

[Imaginati0n]

First time i turned on A-Gps and when i first used tomtom the delay was huge and was always loosing signal...then i discovered that was A-Gps too... i didnt know it was provided by the mobile service...

[metalbrother]

Tom Tom Only For GPS Not For A-GPS
