If you're using FSO then ogpsd is already saving and restoring almanac 
and possibly ephemeris data from the last time the GPS was powered up. 
IIRC it is planned to extend this to use the data from ublox.com if the 
stored data is too old, but it hasn't been done yet. Communicating 
directly with the serial port while ogpsd is running, or any other gps 
daemon for that matter, will cause problems.
