Maybe this is what Nokia supl server (only) provides: estimate the country and set geographic centre of country as GPS location.
Seen from worldwide this is quite exact and pretty close, but seen from local stand point this is very inaccurate.

Anybody knows what Nokia supl server does/provides?
I have switched now to google and get instantaneous (and accurate) GPS fix.
