But I really wish my Garmin GPS unit would boot up quicker. It's kind of annoying that by the time it's started up and gotten a satellite lock, I can be halfway to my destination. :)
Ditto, but at least it has an excuse: the world has changed every time it boots. (AFAIK, the long lock time is due to it trying different antenna configurations in order to optimize overall signal strength from the current spread of satellites. Changing its orientation while it's doing that can seriously slow it down, btw...)
