That is a possibility.  The terminology used in the 3GGP specs is Global 
Satellite Navigation System (GNSS) for the technology.  The terms "Position 
Measurement Procedure" and "Assistance Data Delivery Procedure" are used in 
RRLP, for the procedures. I have some concern
that it may be difficult to relate the oFono terminology to that used in the 
3GPP standards.

There are other positioning technologies such as EOTD and OTDOA that are not 
satellite based, although hopefully it would be obvious that these would be 
handled entirely in the modem.

My preference for a short name would be GNSS, since this term is used 
extensively in the 3gpp recommendations, although it has the disadvantage of 
being an abbreviation. If "Assisted Satellite Navigation" is too long then I 
suppose "Global Satellite Navigation System" would be too long too.

Generic terms like "Positioning" would be problematic since the supplementary 
service positioning procedures like MOLR (Mobile Originated Location Request) 
are not covered by this API.

Regards,

Simon
