No, it isn't. Relying on satellite connectivity to do so broken, but that's not how it works anymore. Did you even read the article regarding indoor GPS that I posted earlier in the thread?
I did but those ground based transmitters are only for improving accuracy by sending you the position delta determined vs. real for that region. It doesn't help if you don't receive a GPS signal. That ain't satellite radio which is being terristrically re-broadcast. For more information have a look the descriptions of these augumented GPS systems: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPS#Techniques_to_improve_GPS_accuracy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trilateration To sum it up: Without having good GPS reception you can't do trilateration and without it you can't apply any accuracy improvements. -- Andre
