[OSM-newbies] N95 built-in GPS vs. Bluetooth GPS

[Arlindo Pereira]

I use A-GPS here too.

As far as I know, A-GPS is just a way to get a faster GPS lock. Because the
N95 has a somewhat low signal GPS receiver, it can take a LOOOONG time to
get a lock (10 minutos or so), so I always leave A-GPS on.
