What is AGPS? What’s the difference between External GPS & QuickGPS? more
Assisted Global Positioning System was introduced to enhance performance. Conventional GPS then had difficulty providing reliable positions in poor signal conditions. For example when surrounded by tall buildings (as a result of multipath), or when the satellite signals are weakened by being indoors or under trees. Some newer receivers fare better. The resulting AGPS system, consisting of the integrated GPS receiver and network components, boosts performance beyond that of the same receiver in a stand-alone mode. (It will use a data connection and can cause connection fee). Besides, QuickGPS can speed up the time for determining your GPS position by downloading the latest satellite data via an Internet connection.
