Problem there is the rule based engine is trying to decide to answer the call, put it to voice mail, vibrate, ring loud, etc... Waiting 30-60 seconds for a cold start fix from the GPS is too long.<br><font color="#888888">

Or, perhaps use GSM triangulation to trigger GSP fix acquisition.<br>

I thought about it awhile and decided that you could have the GPS engine get a fix every 5 minutes or some user adjustable time frame and use the last known fix. 99% of the time it would probably be close enough.<br>
