so, if I ensure my phone has current location by running a maps 
application that continuously updates, then close that, and drive a few 
miles, get out and chill for a while, giving the phone plenty of time to 
get it's act together, then take some photos, then visit 
http://www.where-am-i.net/ all the photos are geotagged incorrectly and 
the browser is handed out a position of somewhere I am not, and have not 
been for some time. Refreshing the browser doesn't appear to do much, 
even though it has handed out a dreadful location it doesn't start doing 
anything about improving matters for the next request. It seems it only 
looks at the sky when you run an application that subscribes for 
updates, you can request your position as much as you like and it will 
not be prompted to get an actual fix.

Is this the intended behavior? You have to visit Google maps in the 
browser or run OSMtouch and wait before taking any photos you want 
geotagged with a reasonable position?
