Comment on GPS vs. Glonass vs. Galileoparent

Comments

I've always noticed my Garmin watch gets a fix extremely fast except for the first time I use it after traveling somewhere new. That first one always takes several minutes.

yes, the math is significantly simplified if you assume you haven't moved. cold start is always much slower (and is called out as such in most GPS datasheets)
