Sending some unknown blob of data to https://supl.nokia.com:7275/ and getting
some unknown blob back doesn't help.  I have a second GPS that I could use to
show visible satellites (plus azm/elev) so if I knew what it was pushing I
could see if it the values were sane.  For that matter I don't know if the
values it is sending up are sane though the red dot was at the right location
in the agps-ui app.

(my revised GPSD actually can use both the internal and a BT GPS, so I could
use  the BT GPS data to push the internal if I knew how).

Let me ask for something REALLY, REALLY simple.  A utility to display what it
thinks the satellite information is that I could run from Xterm or wherever so
I can see if anything sensible is being saved or maybe explain the complete
loss of information in the 30 seconds it takes to relaunch.  I could also
compare it with the image from that prior link.  Even better if I could set it
using the same utility.

Some of the stuff is proprietary, fine.  How about a non-proprietary CLI that
would at least show the basic data so we might have a chance at diagnosing
things.  Maybe some hardware is bad or broken but we have no way of knowing.

Having even a log file with "this is what it thinks the time, lat, and long
are" would go far.  Having a way to manually set it would be even better (e.g.
set, and see if the values stick).

Has anyone at Nokia even tried the map start / exit / relaunch and does it work
reliably for them or not?  For a lot of us, it is 100% completely repeatable
failure.  Maybe something as simple as being at a far west longitude.  I don't
know.  And I can't help if I don't have either information as to what is going
on under the hood or a utility that would at least let me see if things make
sense or not.

And the way it is acting, if it is being told or remembering I'm in australia
instead of minnesota it would explain things.
