But in this way the location is calculed in the external A-GPS receiver (not by the A-GPS chip of the android) and the idea was to implement all in the same device and not developing another HW. Is the any way to access the driver or to interact in low level with the A- GPS chip of the android device? of course, assuming that the device has A-GPS support.
