Re: [android-developers] Re: How to get accurate time stamps from Android GPS location.

Thanks for your input to this, it's spurred me to further study. 

Re the GpsStatus object, that's a great suggestion but for the life of me, I can't get my SGS 11 to trigger the onStatusChanged event or to get anything from the GpsStatus object, so that's a bit annoying. But I'll press on.

Despite monitoring for in excess of 12.5 minutes, the GPS time being reported in the NMEA string and Location.getTime are consistently slightly more than 1 second ahead of UTC - averages around 1300 ms. Odd eh?

I've not looked at the relevant Android API before, but I would imagine that if you get a GpsStatus object from the LocationManager, then check each satellite for hasAlmanac(), then you might be more likely to have the correct GPS/UTC offset. It is still possible to have received the almanac data for all satellites in view, but still not received the GPS/UTC offset, so not a perfect solution.
