The manual claims down to 5 seconds TTFF if you supply ephemeris and a
precise timepulse.
Without the timepulse TTFF is supposed to be around 24 seconds.

At optimum conditions it takes about 30 seconds. The problem is that it
will take much longer if you are moving or generally don't have optimum
conditions as then downloading ephemeris will be interrupted frequently.
My hope was that TTFF will be much less susceptible to non-optimum
reception.
