A-GPS (Assisted GPS)

A-GPS, or Assisted GPS, enhances traditional GPS by using additional data from network sources like cell towers and Wi-Fi to determine location more quickly and accurately. When you request your position, A-GPS combines satellite signals with information from these networks, which helps the device lock onto your location faster, especially in challenging environments like indoors or urban areas with tall buildings. This cooperation reduces the time it takes to find your position and improves accuracy, making navigation and location-based services more reliable and responsive.
