So this thing locks without AGPS in 30 seconds outdoors & bout a minute - 90 seconds indoors - yes that's right indoors - no agps. This shows me HTC has an excellent GPS radio in this beast.


So I did it right now - from soft reset - 8-12 seconds to lock. Tested three times after 3 soft resets.
One thing I'm curious about is what happens if say, your phone is off...or at least your GPS is off and you move to a location that's maybe 5-10+ miles from your previous location. Do you get a quick lock then?

I think, at least with my standalone car GPS that I always got a pretty quick lock if I was in the same place as the last time I turned it on and not that much time had p*****.

I wonder if GPS units use the last know position to help it try to find where the satellites are.

So a nice test would be to turn off the GPS, go to another location and then see how fast you get a lock.
