AT&T Puts the 'A' in A-GPS

AT&T announced that it has enhanced its network to include assisted GPS capabilities. A-GPS uses cell tower location information to narrow down the search area that phone's use to find GPS satellites. The smaller search area leads to a faster time to first fix. AT&T is also bringing two more location-based services offerings to its catalog of applications. MapQuest Navigator and AAA Mobile navigator both offer turn-by-turn directions, local gas price information and more.
