Try this "h-slp.mnc002.mcc240.pub.3gppnetwork.org"

Might not work but worth the shot

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

That is interesting........any idea where this one is located in orbit?


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

I dont think N900 has network positioning , it is very inaccurate and I dont see any options to enable or disable it.

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

Doesn't A-GPS use triangulation? That's how network providers locate people for the cops. Wouldn't that use cell towers?

On my N95 8Gb there were two settings , Assisted GPS and network positioning, If i only used network positioning my position was very inaccurate ,( I used both Nokia Maps and Google maps) near the highway where the cell tower was but if I only used assisted it took 30 secs more but with accuracy about 5-10 meters..so I dont know maybe they integrated both in N900 but IMO network positioning sucks

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).

Here's an easy fix:
Move 600 meters.
