Re: GPS

 

Hi,

In my case I have had a good experience with web based services like open
street maps and I believe google maps too. The rest are just app bugs I
would say... for example uNav and osmscout tend to get stuck at some
location of the past loosing track of my current position.

After OTA-8 I started to get faster gps fixes, sometimes I help the system
by using the location test app until it starts receiving position updates,
then open the actual app/webservice I want to use.

One question:  Why is it needed to have wifi On to have assisted GPS?

Best Regards,
Felipe.
