Re: Blackberry GPS said by spamd:I'll say VZnavigaor is BS it uses cell tower triangulation, which is NOT GPS. VZ-Nav uses aGPS, which uses either GPS or triangulation or both together, depending on the situation. The "a" is for assisted, which means that the phone gets GPS satellite info from the system, so it can then quickly get a fix on the GPS satellites, with a lot less signal than is required for standalone GPS units. White papers at www.snaptrack.com document how this works.
The (legitimate) complaint with respect to the Blackberry 8830 is that VZW has disabled the standalone GPS functionality. |
