1. Within a mobile device comprising cell phone circuitry and GPS circuitry, a method for producing a reference signal for a GPS receiver comprising:

  • producing a cellular oscillator signal and a frequency error signal within the cell phone circuitry, where the frequency error signal is for controlling an oscillator to operate the cell phone circuitry within cell phone network specifications;

    coupling the oscillator signal to at least one numerically controlled oscillator within GPS circuitry;

    processing the frequency error signal to produce a frequency control value that is coupled to the at least one numerically controlled oscillator; and

    generating, within said at least one numerically controlled oscillator, a signal in response to said cellular oscillator signal and said frequency control value that is used for processing GPS signals.
