Ephemeris needs to be fresh. Old data (cached) is likely to give you a worse lock time than no data. Plus, there the precise time thing that isn't cacheable.

But, every lock refreshes the data, so just wait for a lock and then it's smooth sailing? There is a gps logger recorder thing in the repos that logs every now and then, I think it can keep locking periodically and keep it warm at the expense of battery.

I did, turns out some newbie keeps reviving them every 6 months.
