If one could even set/enter rough default coordinates, as long as you're in the ball park (+/- a degree) it will cut the time needed for GPS to lock dramatically.

While the GPS code is closed (preventing us from directly injecting a guess at a starting point), this may be a good way to fake it. A local supl server that computes a rough guess and feeds it to the closed source that then injects the right data.

Would be a popular project if someone's willing to take it up.
not quite that simple. The location servers return with a limited information, cached, making a near - but not complete set of location data. This data is cached. And the difference I believe. Is that the set of data is a bit late. Not real time. But, ofcourse we could cache similat response
