Mockba, GPS, something funny?

I have a blackberry (but I'm getting a G1 ASAP).

I was in Moscow for the developer days earlier in the week, and noticed something a bit weird.

In most cities, GPS on GMM takes 10, 15, sometimes even 30 seconds to get a lock. In Prague, for example, it took nearly 5 minutes each time.


In Moscow, I had a GPS signal the MOMENT I fired up GMM.

GPS is an american military technology, right? Based on satellite signals. Methinks there a few extra satellites over mother Russia.

Oh, and this is epic.
