How is GPS?

---

I've seen alot of posts of people getting their new SGS2, but I haven't seen any GPS results. I expect it to be the same as the international, but has anyone used gps test or gps status to see how well gps works?

GEEPEE-ESSSSS - Are you afraid of getting lost in the woods again? Why not put "Witches of Eastwick" on your new fancyphone and take a walk deep into the woods and see if it can nav you out? Street view will be particularly helpful I am sure!

Top 10 Pitfalls of using GPS in the Woods

10: Watch out for those uncharted cliffs.
9: Turn right into bee-hive alley
8. Skunk alert
7. Turn left at large oak tree? they are ALL large oak trees!
6. Nice. A bird just crapped on my head.
5. I wonder where my date is? I wonder what all that screaming is about? I should Google that...
4. Nice of Streetview to warn about all these hungry pygmies waving shrunken heads and standing over that brush covered pyramid.
3. Bear cub on the left - bear on the right - when will Google incorporate travel advisories worth a damn? Really? Bear right means this?
2. Wait - what? Low battery?
1. I wonder if twitter works out here?

Nice, thanks for the laughs Attn1 - and good to see you posting over here. :)

I gotta agree with shad0wf0x though - I'd like to get some general impressions about the GPS on this device, as I want one that works, and my wife's Cappy is absolutely junk in this regard.

Mine insta locks with 3 sats and will pick 4 more up in less than ~15 sec

Works great, good as my iPhone's did. The Infuse GPS was awful and it really pissed me off when I was foursquaring, but this phone does it PERFECTLY.

Mine locked on in less than 5 seconds and it is a cloudy rainy day here.

well I didn't wait, i got 3 sats in 10 seconds or so, got another 4 or so in under 30 seconds, did the update agps in gps test and got 11 right away strong locks (41+ indoors). GPS looks good to me.

Got a fix on 8 out of 9 sats in my living room in under 5 seconds.

This is good news for old SGS owners.

Good to see everyone having positive experiences with GPS.

Weird. The two Infuses I've owned have had perfectly functioning GPS.
