It might not be just a matter of getting the location. If they use the 1pps clock from GPS to calibrate an oscillator before they start transmitting, then it would legitimately take 20-30 minutes.

Telrad BTS's are like that too. Pisses me off if I ever have to reset the power.

For whatever reason, the receivers that they use in some of these don't seem to be "modern" at all. They frequently take an excessively long time to get a lock.

    Modern GPS receivers work surprisingly well, if not very
    accurately, from inside a single floor wood framed house... My
    oneplus one will pick up 6 satellites while standing in a central
    hallway 15'+ from any window. Should be accurate enough to get a
    location within 75'.

    All bets are off if it is a concrete framed apartment building or
    something like that.

    I still find it amazing that anything works at -162 RSL. Thanks to
    tiny channel size and very basic modulation.

        Canopy NAT seems to break it with regularity. It might also
        fail if the GPS location that it reports is not within a 1/4
        mile of where the customer address is.

        Also requires enough GPS (like near a window) to get a GPS lock.
