The first time you use A-GPS you _need_ an Internet connection.

You use the A-GPS program in the startup menu in Extras to select your location.

Its always active, as soon as you are using GPS you are also using A-GPS.

From the blog entry:

Let me introduce A-GPS beta for N810!

Assisted GPS (A-GPS) provides assistance data for GPS calculations within the device. This application enables A-GPS on your N810 Internet Tablet device and provides improved GPS fix times.

In order to benefit from A-GPS you need to have:
* latest OS2008 SW version (DIABLO_4.2008.23-14 or later)
* possibility for internet connection.

You need set the reference location at the first time you use A-GPS and everytime you have moved a long distance
(>300 kilometers / 185 miles) from your previous reference location. Whenever your Internet Tablet gets a GPS fix
your reference location will be automatically updated accordingly.

Known issues:
* if reference location is set totally wrong, GPS may not get a fix at all

If you own the compatible device, please download and tell us what you think!
PS: I have exactly same GPS software as listed in above post!!
