The GPS performance of my Freerunner is also much worse than
the GPS performance of my neo1973.   I've done side-by-side tests of the
two units many times.   My neo1973 gets a good fix in 2 to 3 minutes
after a completely cold start; it's very reliable.   My Freerunner 
initially was getting a fix after 7 or 8 minutes.   For the last few
days it has not been able to get a fix at all.
