Another observation:

Posted throughout these forums, it is recommend setting EnableGPSSmartMode to 0 for standalone mode and 1 for aGPS. Enabling this setting tells the GPS to start acquiring a fix based on the last known location. In aGPS mode, the GPS is getting assistance in acquiring a fix via methods other than the last known location, so I assume this registry setting is essentially not applicable or at least insignificant when using aGPS. I'll test when back in the states to see if the speed to lock is any different when this value is changed.

The value in this registry setting would be useful in standalone mode (assuming the GPS truly functions in standalone mode). In standalone mode, setting a value of 1 should cause the GPS to start searching based on the last known location. This should significantly improve the time to lock, assuming your current location has not changed significantly since the last lock. The only time it might be beneficial to set to 0, is when running in stand alone mode and starting in a location significantly different from the previously known location. Even in this scenario, there may not be much, if any, noticeable difference as the entire sky still must be searched. Having an incorrect starting location may not be any worse than starting with no known location (I'll leave GPS gurus to this one until I have a chance to research the GPS algorithm used for finding sats in the sky).
