Should be. I think the major consideration of u-blox A-GPS is to speed up TTFF, decrease the TTFF from at 40 seconds or so to 10 seconds or so. A-GPS online needs network connection, if network connection is unavailable, AssistNow offline or something else are expected to provide initial aiding data such as almanach and/or ephemeris.
Most of the time user know his/her location, but may unable to get GPS fix due to bad environment (e.g. buildings). If we have aiding data, we can submit them to GPS chip. What data to submit depends on your current location and time. Location can be specified by (1) picking up from map, (2) or last valid location recorded by GPS software (3) or from phone network (some service providers provide this kind of service with charge fee). I think get locations by cell id is especially useful in case of weak or no GPS signals. I'll have a look at opencellid, thanks.
