Yeah, i know but chose to misunderstand it so i could slip in the jibe about shooting down satellites .

I am smoker, and if idle time more then 5-6 minutes I pull out next cigarette. That is why I don't love the 1ххх series model especially today. I have a Nuvi models which is more useful for my health. :Animated59:

Dasilvarsa & i live in 'third world' ex-british colonies and, unlike our rich european cousins, can no longer afford to smoke or buy expensive electronics, so have found another way to drive ourselves to an earlier grave and torture ourselves constantly by owning low-end garmin products. You would say, be cheaper to wear a hair-shirt and sleep on a bed of nails, but i say not as much misery.

Seriously though, Giomen, i reckon time to first fix of 8 to 13 minutes is not too shabby in less than ideal conditions and Eph. 8-10 sats. with 6-10m accuracy is also acceptable in 'real world environment' of built-up/city areas. What say you, dasilvarsa? I bet you can add to the defense of our beloved, highly modded and pimped-up 1300s.
