Can't wait till GPS is within most mobiles. I wonder what kind of
privacy laws will be implemented...

Thanks for the info. I browsed through gpsOne info on Qualcomm's site
and SnapTrack. Found this to be interesting: Mobile Station (MS)-based
A-GPS, MS-assisted A-GPS,
and Standalone GPS. My keitai includes MS-based A-GPS capabilities. It
gives me three grades of GPS coordinates. If I'm in a building I
usually get a grace C, but if I'm under open sky I get grade A. Do you
think these map to the three services mentioned? e.g. MS-based A-GPS
is grade A, while Standalone GPS is grade C.

This is something that the creators of Mogi would know.

Take care,
