No, you've still not got it. Androids LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER: All kinds of GPS. Androids LocationManager.NETWORK: Uses the mobile phone network or nearby wifi to provide location details. This is absolutely nothing to do with GPS in any way. Additionally D-GPS stations *do not transmit the same information as in A-GPS*. D-GPS increase accuracy, A-GPS decreases lock-time.
