So, my Thinkware F750 struggles to get a GPS signal when mounted to my windscreen. Not through fault of the cam however, it's because my windscreen has this stupid laminate bit in the middle. Anyhow, when I head out for a journey the GPS will take a fair few minutes to 'lock on'. Once it does it's great! However when I then go out to my car say 30 mins later and start the car the GPS locks on as quickly as the cam starts recording!
My question is, once the GPS has found a lock the first time round and is then turned of, does the cam somehow save the last known positions of the satellites? That's the only way I can think why it locks on straight away on a second journey?
Hope that makes sense...
