You missed the colder-than-cold test: - Factory is where the receiver has no knowledge whatsoever of Almanac data in turn to locate the satellites and retrieve Ephemeris data, and for a full Almanac to be downloaded can take approx 12.5 mins, hence most companies suggest a factory start of 15 minutes. - So we already know the N810 has to be worse than it should be, due to multiple reports even on this list of >15 minute TsTFF. Also, I apparently "cold test" my dedicated GPS 1-2 times per day. It's always read to be a GPS before I'm ready to be a driver. Perhaps that says more about how long it takes me to start driving than about how fast my GPS is. That said, I'll try to test it. I'll assume the N810 needs a factory start by this point and then start doing some cold timings. Assuming it doesn't take so long that I have to terminate the test. _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
