I know using Assisted GPS costs money, but what about network-based GPS?
A-GPS costs money? I thought A-GPS was used to determine your approx. location based on the location of the nearest network mast?

Yes it does but the new firmware for the N95 uses it to help the internal GPS work much better.
As far as I know, the network based option is actually when the network is used to triagulate your postion. I'll be honest, I'm not sure if it's even used.
Maybe the networks have to allow it?

You're on about A-GPS. Network based is totally different.
