Default GPS on OS6

I don't know if anyone else has noticed but the GPS is much more responsive on OS6. It locks faster to more satellites. GPS Guru gets 9 satellites in 5 seconds and I'm 8 feet from a window facing west. Impressed me. Cachesense is the same, locks on fast.

Also, my battery life seems to be as good if not better than OS5. Under extra heavy usage today.

It would help others a lot better if we knew what version of OS 6 you're using?

Also, posting this in the correct Findings/Fixes thread would be much more helpful too. I know I don't want to go looking all over the place when deciding what OS to install.
