There is a chicken-egg problem with getting started.  The satellites tell you 
where they are, but you need to know where they are and where you are in 
order to calculate the Doppler offset so you know what frequency to listen to.

The difference between warm start and cold start is that for a warm start the 
receiver has a 32KHz clock and has saved its last position and the satellite 
orbit data in battery backed RAM.
