Using a-gps when roaming is not a good idea, as it costs data roaming charges. Leaving aside the fact it is not proper location positioning..

So I am happy. _______________________________________________ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@xxxxxxxxx https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
