GPS is realtime whereas AGPS is not. Network interaction is required everytime you move out of the service area. Useful only for locating a particular place in small area. Also in AGPS privacy is not as good as GPS since the Assistance server knows the location of the device. Another disadvantage is that there needs to be communication over the wireless for processing of GPS data so this could be expensive.
