I see that there is a new version of agps-ui (0.10-1beta), has this made a difference to any of the problems that some were reporting here?

I didn't try a-gps so far, since I'm a little reluctant to upgrade to diablo... But I'd like to understand how it works. You have to pinpoint on a map where you are, and then it fetches on the internet data about the current location of the satellites? Is it that simple?

You can download satellite information either with WLAN or with phone data connection. Unless you can see 8-12 satellites in your GPS information screen almost instantly, it is not downloading satellite info and A-GPS is not working.

Anyone know if A-GPS will work with my N800+Blueooth GPS+MaemoMapper tethered to a Sprint Treo 700p's EVDO? Im a bit confused, will it only work with GSM carriers?

In the A-GPS Beta app, when I select settings, the option for "Preferred connection" is disabled I do not get the option to select my carrier.

The way I have understood the preferred connection functionality is that it is the connection that A-GPS will automatically start if not network connectivity is not found. That's the way it works for me as my GPRS connection is set as the preferred connection and it automatically starts when no WLAN is active.

And there's no chinook version coming, right?
