Default Sonar gps connection time
Hey all. How long does it take your sonar to connect to GPS ?
Three weekends ago I noticed my Helix 5 took 3.5 minutes for the GPS and time to show up on the screen.

Instantaneous for the most part. If it’s a real bad cloud cover it takes a few minutes at times

At least a minute I'd say. Or twenty minutes under the metal roof on the Ranger.

seems to depend on whats overhead when I fire up my Helix's. Under 60 seconds if clear, in my car can be a few minutes, and even longer in the house.
