to be precise, a-gps features depend mostly on an internet network or connection to an isp (or cnp, in the case of cp/mobile-phone device linked to a cellular network provider data service). a mobile (cell phone, smart phone) device with just an l1 front-end radio receiver and no gps acquisition, tracking, and positioning engine only works when it has an internet connection to an isp/cnp, where the position fix is calculated offboard the device itself. it doesn't work in areas with no coverage or internet link (or nearby base transceiver station (bts) towers, in the case on cnp service coverage area). without any of those resources, it can't connect to the a-gps servers usually provided by cnps. on the other hand, a mobile device with a gps chipset requires no data connection to capture and process gps data into a position solution, since it receives data directly from the gps satellites and is able to calculate a position fix itself. however, the availability of a data connection can provide assistance to improve the performance of the gps chip on the mobile device.
