Public bug reported:

Hi!

I think that the mobile network cell triangulation position is not
working in Ubuntu Phone OS.

The position should be really fast (~1 - 5") and I'm thinking that
Ubuntu Phone is waiting for a real GPS position every time.

A good test could be this:
- Go to a room, way out of a sky for avoid a real GPS signal.
- Set WIFI service OFF.
- Set GPS service ON.
- Set data connection ON.
- Go to this web into the phone: http://leafletjs.com/examples/mobile-example.html The web will ask you to allow access location.
- It's really important not to have a GPS position cached too.

In a PC or *any* Android you'll see your position immediately.
Bug: In Ubuntu Phone an error will appears. This error is because the geoposition (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Geolocation/Using_geolocation) is not working with the cell triangulation network data.

You can try a lot of apps like Google Maps, OSMTouch, HERE map, uNAV... and a fast position from data connection is not happening, unless you be with a WIFI connection.
If you try Google Maps in Android, the position will be really fast just with data connection.

Thanks in advance!
