title: Is there a way to download the GPS almanac?
body: <p>I'm attempting to get my phone to update the assisted GPS info.
  I've followed the instructions outlined in question 
  <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14548707/android-how-to-reset-and-download-a-gps-data">Android: How to reset and download A-GPS data?</a>
  This seems to tell GPS to remove the "almanac" SO I'll assume the next time my handheld attempts to connect it will also attempt to get the almanac.  </p>
  
  <p>This is not really what I'm looking for, because (at least according to wikipedia) GPS take about 12.5 minutes to get the new almanac. It does indeed feel that long, though I've not timed it.  Even 5 minutes seems like a long wait when I'm ready to start a run. </p>
  
  <p>When i was skulking about, I came across "GPS Status &amp; Toolbox."  This app downloads the data via wifi or 3g. It's lightning fast and perfectly suited to my needs.  </p>
  
  <p>Beyond setting clearing the data, I'm wondering if anyone knows how they accomplish the insertion of the data?</p>
