For those that tend to use / really appreciate their Android's GPS you might consider downloading the app named "GPS Status". If you dislike ads there is a free version also. Read the blue text below for full list of what it offers!
While GPS Status does report status and is visually nifty lets say it does have a feature that is a major plus and will in fact make you GPS perform at its optimum. The plus as I call it is the apps ability to "reset" the GPS and to download 'GPS assistance data" that is up to the minute current. Doing a reset and then the download will speed up your GPS fixes immensely.. You would do this reset / download say the morning of a trip...
IF you install this app, open GPS Status, press your phones Menu button and then go to Tools. There you will see "Manage A-GPS State" and under this you will see reset and download.
What GPS Status offers:
Displays your GPS and sensor data: position and signal strength of satellites, accuracy, speed, acceleration, altitude, bearing, pitch, roll and battery state.
Tools included: compass with magnetic and true north, leveling tool, mark or share your location and navigate back later.
Keep your GPS fast: reset it or download A-GPS data regularly for faster fixes.
