The start up time for my Ipaq 2210 and BC-307 is about 10 minutes...that the cold start, according to the review on http://www.pocketgpsworld.com/globalsat-bc307.php it says that the cold start up time should be 48 sec.... The warm start up time on my device is about 10 sec, so that's great, but what could be the problem with the cold start?

Do you have a heat reflective windscreen ? If you move the GPS Receiver just outside of the car (holding it), does it acquire a fix much quicker ? If so, you probably need a [url=/menu_rerads.php]re-radiating antenna[/url].

The other thing to make sure is that you have a direct line to the sky, and you're not half in a garage or undera canopy, or even driving as this will all aid in causing a long TTFF.

TTFF's on most GPS Receivers should be sub 1 minute, usually 50 seconds is an average fix time for most, so if you're experiencing 10 minute fixes, then either you have a heat reflective windscreen, you're commencing your journey before obtaining a fix, or don't have a direct line of sight to the sky. If that's not the case, you probably have a faulty GPS.
