GPS is broken! Change wiki and page! And where is the antenna ?
#4
1. I did my research before buying and knew software (and possibly hardware) was a work in progress. Having previous experience with the OpenMoko might have given me a better idea of what to expect. The AGPS data is fetched via a web request which you can run through a proxy or VPN if you don't want the remote server to be able to use GeoIP or similar. It doesn't need to know where you are because it's just providing the almanac and ephemeris data that the GPS sats broadcast slowly, and that's needed to get the first fix. Of course if you've got a SIM in any phone the provider has a pretty good idea of your location.
2. ??? In my experience it's comparable to GPS on other smartphones - they're almost useless without AGPS too, but similarly quick with it.
3. I don't think there is a cable to become disconnected. There are spring terminals that are meant to touch conductive paint.
