Does this work with AGPS on the N810? I see no place to put the server address...

Probably because it already had what it needed to get from the network anyway. A-GPS information is typically valid for an hour or two.

@op, I also have the setting pointing to google, but unfortunately, my lock rate is still slow(around 2 to 3 minutes) and it is with GPSJinni running.
Additional info: I do NOT have a SIM card installed to my N900; I only have a set of map downloaded.on the unit.; so I guess one can't expect quick performance with my type of setup. Prior to PR1.2, my unit would take what feel likes forever(ie. more than 10min) to lock. The GPSJinni was/is an wonderful for my need. YMMV.

Cheers,

It's a bit lame having to use the network positioning to get a lock within an hour! I have found the gps on the n900 to be a bit of an embarrassment, the other day I tried to use it and a friend who has an iphone was there in seconds! I gave up.

What would solution be if there was zero network cover?

:eek: That's surprising to me. I do not use aGPS and when I'm outside, normally I get a fix in a minute or two, when I'm not moving. Sometimes less. Only if I'm moving (fast) before I got the fix it can take up to 10 minutes. If you are between skyscrapers or in an forrest, it also can take longer. I use it mostly on my motorcycle with mappero.

Because US adds noise to the reading for civilian GPS usage.

I think this is more related to the fact that the location was based only on A-GPS reading (estimate based on cell towers) and there was no real GPS satellite lock. A-GPS location is a really rough estimate.
