who can tell me google nexus one phone is GPS or AGPS?
coz may want to purchase~

AGPS

hmm then wat are they different AGPS and GPS~
but some ppl say nexus one is both include~

Bro, you dunno what is AGPS and GPS then how you gonna use it?

GPS = use satelite signal
AGPS = use your Telco tower signal to indicate your location instead.

Post at the right thread.
You can ask the Nexus One community here:

Or question related to GPS here:

Everyone..if you guys are not sure or not a N1 user..please do not post non-sense.

Nexus One uses GPS..it has both AGPS and GPS. Having saving that, the default navigation software is disabled outside USA.

So far, i do not see any good GPS software like garmin etc..but i'm sure it will come out soon. Hope this helps

Omg
only USA

your explanation is not correct either...
both are using satellite to track your position,,,
the only difference is in AGPS, telco cell information is used to assist in locking process so that locking process is much faster .
but you can turn off the "A" function if u don't want to incur data charges.

Can I use Google maps on my hero without an internet connection?

don't simply say la. that is not correct. don't mislead ppl.
it's satelite signal + telco tower

N1 uses both GPS and AGPS. GPS is definately more accurate. However like everyone mentioned, Agps uses Gps with assistance of telco tower in areas where there is obstruction like buildings or trees, etc.

Google navigation works here, but voice navigation turn by turn is only available in the States so far. So no voice for us for now, but still can see the map being plotted.

How to turn off AGPS by default and use GPS only?

settings>location&security>uncheck "use wireless network"

Just got clear up some confusion here.

To simply put it, GPS on most phones allow them to receive GPS signals from the sky and then calculate your position on the map. However, the process of doing this is slow and requires a lot computing power. Some even say its slow due to the limited computing power of the phone.

So enter AGPS. Its essentially the same GPS but now with software assistance. What kind of assistance? It now uses your phone's data capabilities to connect to a 'GPS server' to download coordinates and other essential parameters and effectively reduce the time it takes to lock on a position. That is because the 'GPS server' obviously have more computing power and resources. So let the hard work be done off the phone.

Put into case, the Nexus One has GPS and it also uses your data to get a position fix.

correct, simple.. like petrol gps = 95' ; agps = v-power..understand?
