Just to add to and confirm this: acquisition (mere download) of efem/alm takes 12min, if not interrupted by walking around etc, and needs a 30dB higher signal than normal GPS operation. Placing the FR flat on a table will probably not see a fix at all, due to orientation of internal GPS-antenna being front long axis. TTFF can be significantly speed up by supplying time/efem/alm data on startup of GPS-receiver. This can be done by AGPS, or by storing the data locally on device and restoring it to receiver on next power up, given we have correct RTC and didn't move too far since last usage of GPS. /j
