The Diablo is about to hit the streets soon (2Q08... and no, it doesn't have to be the last day of 2Q...) and we'll get the A-GPS support that supposed to improve the performance greatly. I'm running Diablo and have this A-GPS app installed. However, sometimes it seem like help a lot but sometimes I do not notice much if any improvement. (But I have not really used it much... I rarely need the GPS and map.) Maybe someone else who has Diablo and A-GPS app have more experience?
One improvement, if this is actually going to be a problem, would be to allow users to zoom in on the map (or provide an API so we can use some other way or providing the initial location such as GeoClue). I understand this is only the first hack at it so these are thoughts rather than "why doesn't this do that, etc." sorts of comments
