Cool! Installed too. Really it works. I had a fix in my house around of trees and other buildings, in a little time.

Also it connected to 8 satellites whereas before it wasn't capable of overcoming 4.

Though it can be a placebo effect, who knows. I will continue testing it.

Oh.. My.. ***king.. God... !! :eek:

Let me be the first to say that with agps-ui installed and configured, I got a fix from the satellites within seconds.. Yes, you read it right, SECONDS !! :D

Never before did I get a fix this quickly.. It always used to take several minutes..

Not any more shall I feel embarrassed before my friends when trying to get us somewhere quickly. With this, it will be quickly :p

Thanks to NOKIA who finally made this available.. Well, that, and Diablo :cool:

Let me recap.. it uses the AGPS info thru the cellphone connected via BT right ?
So, of course, we need AGPS support from the provider, is that correct ?

Other than that, is there any improvement in fix time?

Re: What do we know about Diablo (Maemo 4.1) ?
 

It use AGPS with wifi. I haven't tested it with a cellphone yet. So about the provider I think isn't important.


And the fix time is faster :)
Cold fix was about 1-2 minutes.
Hot fix 30 seconds aprox.

So it looks at IP address and then uses that data? Could someone test using a mobile and report back? This would really make the GPS useful as a pedestrian.

Re: What do we know about Diablo (Maemo 4.1) ?
 

Uh, it uses WiFi ?
You know how that works ?

I am surprised.

Re: What do we know about Diablo (Maemo 4.1) ?
 

I don't know how it works, but the two packages (closed-source, of course) that are installed are agps-ui and supl-daemon ("Package for supporting SUPL protocol").
SUPL = Secure User Plane Location

If someone knows what SUPL is, could tell us how it works.
