I noticed the "feature" on the Bionic says S-GPS while the HTC and LG say AGPS (uses the phone network, right) . Whats the diff?
So does the "A" mean the GPS won't work out of network coverage? Is the "S" any better out of network?
thats not what he wants to know, im wondering the same thing. so far what ive found out is that the sGPS is kind of like the russians "GloNASS" which basically uses real satellite *sGPS=Satellite GPS* signal seperate from the phones network, you you can now talk on the phone & use the GPS at the same time, thats just one of the advantages. but theres something more, i think you dont need data from your network. thats all i know, something about the network not being needed to be used as aGPS & GPS for mobile phones do. i guess its like a separate GPS reciever all together?The difference between them is just simply GPS uses satellites only to get your location, while AGPS (Assisted GPS) uses your carriers network (towers) to assist in finding your location. AGPS is faster and more accurate, but they both do the same thing.

I have been out of all cell coverage and used maps to get a gps fix on my evo. Couldn't download the map but knew my position lol.
