Amazon accounted for this:
"Each meeting requires a well-crafted, six-page memo that the whole room sits and reads at the start."

Standalone - Your handset has no connection to the network, and uses only the GPS satellite signals it can currently receive to try and establish a location.
MS Based - Your handset is connected to the network, and uses the GPS signals + a location signal from the network.
MS Assisted - Your handset is connected to the network, uses GPS signals + a location signal then relays its 'fix' to the server, which then uses the signal strength from your phone to the network towers to further plot your position.
> If you know your location roughy with triangulation, you can improve your location estimate if you add 2 satellites to the mix (more data is usually better than not), but even then it has nothing to do with aGPS.
Isn't this exactly what aGPS is? One or more data points outside of satellite data? If you have an additional resource I'd love to take a look. Just a quick search of the topic did reveal some contradicting statements.
Official Apple statement:
Calculating a phone’s location using just GPS satellite data can take up to several minutes. iPhone can reduce this time to just a few seconds by using Wi-Fi hotspot and cell tower data to quickly find GPS satellites, and even triangulate its location using just Wi-Fi hotspot and cell tower data when GPS is not available (such as indoors or in basements). These calculations are performed live on the iPhone using a crowd-sourced database of Wi-Fi hotspot and cell tower data that is generated by tens of millions of iPhones sending the geo-tagged locations of nearby Wi-Fi hotspots and cell towers in an anonymous and encrypted form to Apple. https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20110427005749/en/App...

The third party doctrine may be extended to guests visiting a home, but existing law should adapt to require the visitor’s consent. One party consent laws will no longer be feasible in this context without an exception, as they would completely eradicate any expectation of privacy when visiting another’s home.
A more pragmatic approach would be to extend the two party consent laws to owners of recording devices, whereby the duty to disclose that conversations are being recorded would most efficiently be placed on the owner of the recording device.
Consent laws must be modified in order to match the reasonable expectation of privacy of guests visiting another’s home. Owners of an Echo device, similar to banking institutions, should have a duty to disclose to their home guests that conversations may be recorded. The duty of disclosure would best be reflected by a uniform application of the two party consent laws.
