 Isn't there an independant european GPS starting up because the original one is controlled by the US military and they can degrade the accuracy as and when they want to, or is my tinfoil hat speaking to me again? |

Re: Gps Signal
It all depends on what chipset is in the sat nav. The older ones were less than quick to boot. I remember my 1st stand alone receiver was rated at 2 mins cold start up and 30 secs when warm.

Re: Gps Signal
The satellites in view screen is from the almanac, and its just a prediction of what should be available. Once it has a solid lock on one satellite, it can get the precise time and then be able to find others. Its very difficult to get the initial lock from a moving vehicle.
