How long does it take to obtain a satellite connection?
For the best performance, the GPS receiver requires unobstructed access to the sky. The surroundings, such as high buildings or cloudy or rainy weather, may affect the signal quality. The minimum time to get a satellite connection is 40 seconds. However, the required time can be several minutes, unless the GPS receiver is used in a location where it has been recently used, provided that is has unobstructed access to the satellites.
