Comment 11 for bug 1500039

We are only relying on the currently connected to radio-cell to estimate a position and it can take up to 20 seconds until a first position estimate from the network is obtained. The likely difference with android for example is that we do not hand information about neighboring radio cells to the network-based positioning provider.

Also note that applications have no way of forcing the system to use this information (on purpose). The location infrastructure will make sure that all required providers to achieve a fast and accurate fix are powered on whenever an application requests position updates.

I will come up with actual measurements of the time it takes to obtain a position estimate after updates have been enabled.
