Sure, but for me... My MX4 with Ubuntu can't get GPS fix at all ;) only 
network-based (~30 m). If I'm not mistaking It was working on OTA-6, but 
after OTA-8 till now (I'm on rc-proposed now) it is broken for me. It 
can get a GPS fix after ~5 mins (and this is a LOT). But, if I move it 
doesn't change position on the map. After 1-2 minutes the position will 
"jump" like network-based fix.
