Description
We can improve GPS lock time and position estimate quality (at least soon after startup?) by adding support for Ublox's Assist Now feature. This involves:
- [ ] applying for a key from UBlox
- [ ] write a script to be run on firmware.ardupilot.org to download the almanac data from UBlox every hour or so
- [ ] enhance MP and other ground stations to download the latest almanac and forward the data onto the autopilot
- [ ] enhance AP to forward the almanac data received from the GCS to the GPS

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reading the linked ArduPilot flight code issue and clarifying the scope across the checklist: UBlox key access, the firmware.ardupilot.org download script, Mission Planner and other ground stations, and autopilot forwarding. Done means the required AssistNow data flow is addressed across those components.
