So really what I believe you are accomplishing is the same thing - the total lock time is the same. Again, this assumes that the almanac file QuickGPS downloads isn't actually read by the GPS tool. If it is indeed read, then I would expect QuickGPS to indeed make a huge difference on cold start or powering up after a cross-country flight.

Starting QuickGPS is only once so it candownload the info for the Sats. So 5 seconds to download (once since you can set it to automatically download when it expires) then less then 15 seconds to get a lock. HHHHHHHHMMMMMMMMM.

So when you want to stop trying to kill posts from Users that are actually trying to help others in the community, you can come talk to me about the GPS.
