nosa.. there's a question.. when u disable the network position option, the server will be useless (nokia, google or any other) isn't it?
i've tried google server as per us suggestion, but it's the same.. & i've disabled the network position & also same result!

Network Positioning uses cell towers to get a lock faster. Turning it off means you are resorting to raw gps data
I think this thing has gone over my head now. Hopefully someone with more knowledge on the matter could help

For the record, my GPS is working perfectly in the Pacific Northwest using the default server.

supl.nokia.com or google provide A-GPS functionality and AFAIK it has nothing to do with cell towers, they are called assistance servers which supply orbital data

At least there is something strange in Qt applications using GPS. After PR 1.2 apps can't get coarse location information (A-GPS / network).
Might not work but worth the shot
