Hi there,

I've been playing around with the GPS tutorials, and I note that when I use Google Maps, it gets a position really quickly even though the GPS has no lock - I've used various different apps to show that the GPS has no position but Google Maps comes up with a pretty accurate position anyway.

I presume this is using Wifi information - is this correct? And is there any way in B4A to access this position data while waiting for a GPS signal?

Thanks,

JMB
