# this script downloads assisted GPS (AGPS) data via the system's default gateway (i.e. WiFi)
|
||||
# and shares that with the modem. this quickens the process of acquiring a GPS fix.
|
||||
# AGPS data includes an almanac and "ephemeris" [Wikipedia-GPS_signals#Navigation_message]
|
||||
# - Almanac: valid for 2 weeks; status & low-res orbital info for *all* satellites.
|
||||
# - used to know which GPS signals to *search* for.
|
||||
# - every sat broadcasts the global almanac over 12.5min cycles.
|
||||
# - Ephemeris: valid for 4 hours; precise orbital info for each satellite.
|
||||
# - takes 30s to learn this info w/o AGPS data.
|
||||
# - every sat broadcasts *its own* ephemeris over 30s cycles.

# the script may also configure other parts of the modem as `eg25-manager` does.
|
||||
# these options are less tested: see `--help` for more.
