Confirmed

I suspected most of these rumors of improved lock times are due to
improved A-Gps arrangements but:

I am in the middle of a jungle here and turned off A-GPS
and just now witnessed cold-start lock in 90seconds.
The unit had not been used for GPS in the last 48 hours
so I am guessing they are storing the almanac.
Previously under PR 1.2 I saw times of anywhere from 5 to 10min to get cold-start lock,
which I guessed to indicate the system was discarding almanac information.

I am impressed.

Now that I have two units I am thinking I might try to set up
a dgps arrangement if I can find the time to work out how to do it.
