That's because there is one application that is in testing, which is basically showing a world map which you should point your rough location at the very first time.

Some updates... It seem that the app uses active internet connection (WiFi usually) to keep AGPS data up to date. If that is not currently available, there is an option to use cell phone packet data connection as a backup.

I did test the fix time today after almost a week of not using GPS: At the very beginning GPS status showed ~10 visible satellites right away. After about a minute of waiting I got a fix. This is indeed promising... But need to test more to come into more firm conclusions.
