Misspeaking is not the same as misunderstanding.
"I didn't say GPS needs cell towers"
How is that a misspeak?
Does GPS need cell towers? Yes or no.
Because I explicitly said that GPS does not need cell towers and you claimed I misspoke.
GPS does NOT need them to be "faster" for what an end user expects.
Cold start is 2-4 minutes.

Waiting 4 minutes for your phone to show your location the first time you click your map app would be unacceptable for most people today. Agps ameliorates that delay.
But that's irrelevant to my statement that "GPS doesn't need cell phone." Which you claim is a misspeak.
