![]() ![]() This is where an external bluetooth GPS unit fits perfectly. ![]() High battery drainage is another compelling reason for not using the phone's GPS. Some smart-phones doesn't have built-in GPS. This is frustrating and virtually makes the phone's GPS a useless piece of hardware. They are generally very slow in getting the first location fix (mine takes 30-40 minutes to get a fix when I am standing still, and takes eternity when on move). Some Android phones (and other smart-phones too) come with built-in GPS receiver (in addition to AGPS capability, that means it can acquire location from GPS satellites like a standard handheld GPS receiver), but many of them are not as fast and as sensitive as a dedicated GPS unit in acquiring satellite signals and getting a fix (location).
