A-GPS Data Consumption

[Akash Patel]

Hello,

What the average data consumption for using A-GPS on the nRF9160 to download the Almanac and Ephemeris data? I would like to know how much data is billed through my carrier for performing this operation.

Regards,

If I write this A-GPS data, use GPS for 5 minutes, power cycle, turn on GPS again, will I have to rewrite the A-GPS data or the GPS will be able to perform a hot start?

 Yes, I believe that is the case.

However, if you turn the modem off gracefully with AT+CFUN=0, it should store the data to non-volatile memory so that you would not have to fetch it all again after a power cycle.

Although there is still information that has to be fetched each time, such as time, approximate location, etc.
