Another data point. I dont have my FR yet, but looking at this thread got me to fire up an external bluetooth BT74R GPS and connect it to my treo650 using cetus gps to display a satellite map. the GPS is on a SE facing windowsill with one floor above me so everything behind the building will be cut off.
This system will usually, but not always get a fix within seconds. Today (and I have seen this before), it cant get a fix. All the strongest satellites in view are aligned east-west. From experience, once the satellites move so they are "spread" across the sky, a fix will happen - and once obtained will stay fixed. Just need to get that first lock! Does the freerunner have software that can show how the satellites position overhead? - satellite location will certainly cause a lot of variability - I would think the only worthwhile measurements on how the FR performs will be comparative (with another, known performer placed alongside) rather than absolute.
