Quick reply...
Theoretically, as long as you have no other source of information (Wi-Fi or cellular Internet), the GPS satellite can take about fifteen minutes to load the almanac information about other satellites. That's the primary bottleneck: weak and slow satellite signal. I wonder if it is possible to store all the satellites' information on N900, instead, so that the device would still have to catch the signal and identify the satellite, but downloading the data would no longer be necessary.
Now, tell me why it was not done before. Tell me why storing information about GPS satellites' orbits on the device is a stupid idea. I know, it would need updates when old satellites crash, and new satellites are launched. Besides that, what are other obstacles?
[Edit]Is there any way to set up an A-GPS server on Nokia's Linux-phone-computer itself?[/Edit]
Best wishes.
