"With the deployment of A-GPS ("Assisted" GPS - technical details)
somewhat in the "air", here comes AlwaysOnGPS
[http://http://www.alwaysongps.com/], an innovative solution that uses
WiFi to assist a GPS.
The concept seems simple enough, the software memorizes the position of
WiFi base stations you come across as you would do for 'war-driving',
but instead of just mapping them out, their position can be used later
to assist the GPS in case the signal gets lost and to increase
accuracy. With the limited range of WiFi, it will likely only work well
in dense urban areas, but that's also where GPS signals get blocked the
most. You can give it a try with the 30 day trial version and use this
thread of the 'GPS and Mobile News' forums to discuss."

What's the skinny? Is this a plausible application?
