You're right but I'm reading this as time to acquire first fix after the initial BT pairing and whatnot.

What's the beef then?
Are folks saying that once they get a fix and use GPS on the 810, close whatever program and then come back to it after a time, it still takes several minutes to re-acquire?

Or are the complaints just about the time required for the initial, set-up fix?

For me the LD-3 stays in the car charging only when the ignition is on... so it is hot all the time. It is independent of the tablet.

If the GPS in the 810 goes cold when not used but the tablet is still on... then I'd say that was a problem that could be addressed by firmware revisions or even an add-on software solution.

Does it go cold if a program using it is left on in the background?
