Just had to add a quick thumbs up for this list. I use an SGS3 i9305 in Canada, so the model was never designed to be used in North America. Staying on a stock ROM, I've usually had a pretty decent GPS fix, but would sometimes have to wait as long as 15 seconds. However, I detest Samsung bloat and have been flashing several of the 4.2.2 AOSP ROMs that have appeared recently. They always have atrocious or non-existent GPS for me and force me to return to a Sammy ROM. I downloaded the canada.zip file from this post, flashed it after flashing the AOSP ROM and gapps, but before rebooting and my GPS fix rocks. The longest fix so far has been 6 seconds and that was inside at night. I used to try fixing GPS with the Pimp my ROM app, which appeared to be downloading from the same list, but it never worked like flashing the Canada gps.conf file with the ROM. Big thumbs up.
Working for me
Thank you so much...position accurate to 10m and lock speed has also improved.
Those who are facing error while flashing zip file, extract zip file and copy gps.config file into /system/etc and it's done.

nah. doesn't matter, /etc is linked to /system/etc
he should definitely find some sort of a gps.conf
please post the output of "ls -la /system/etc" - I'll look into it (hope I'll remember)
on-topic: VERY NICE! been search for this for a long time. I almost did a collection myself
THX!
Question
I guess those string must be placed at one line in gps.conf:
What is the reason to carry string "xtra.bin" to the next line in gps.conf (for Russian Federation or Uzbekistan, for example)?
Code:
XTRA_SERVER_1=http://xtra1.gpsonextra.net/
xtra.bin
Code:
XTRA_SERVER_1=http://xtra1.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
2 ways.
If you have installed cwm or twrp, you install the zip file through it OR extract the file gps.conf from zip file and place it in folder /system/etc (you need root).
Thank you, GPS is more accurate after flashing the specific Italy gps.conf file

You can try to install the file for Italy as there is not an NTP server for Tunisia
My good sir, the file for Country: Malaysia and Continent: Asia, is no longer available on Dropbox, can you please kindly re-upload

I originally posted this in Galaxy S II development, but reckoned it might be useful for any of you.
These are ClockworkMod flashable gps.conf files for all available countries and all continents.
The appropriate gps.conf file is crucial for both lock speeds and accuracy.

Please report if a download link is broken.3If you use MIUI it's even easier to change the NTP server. (CM7 may also have this feature)
Go to "Settings"-->"Personal"-->"My Location"-->"GPS configuration" and change the address.

Nice list but isn't there a file for Austria?
Thanx
Sent from my Desire HD
Something went wrong when signing the .zips, I've added the Austria one.
I'm affraid you can't but since Sweden and Norway are in the same time zone (right?) it should improve there too. Otherwise I'm affraid you'll have to flash them1
Quality difference isn't noticable I think, but if you travel a lot I would just go for Europe.Sorry for noobing around --> should I just extract the zip file and copy the inserted gps.conf to the etc folder? What (quality)difference does it make using the europe zip instead of the switzerland zip alone?
You can extract it and place the gps.conf in /system/etc but you can also flash the file with Clockworkmod.1
Hmm, not too sure. Just move this file to /system/etc and replace with Rootexplorer will do the same.
