Hey guys from the point of battery plug in. What's the longest some of you have waited to obtain all green

J.James said:GPS satellites also make a full orbit every 12 hours. So they are moving pretty fast and just a few minutes can move pretty far causing on of them to be out of view or be hide some thing obstructing it. But if I'm remembering correctly most gps receivers remember were they last picked up a satellite from and the satellites also send date on its location and time corrections and the receiver can anticipate where it will be in the sky again when trying to ind it again.
Its a pretty awesome thing that our birds can fully integrate and take advantage of the mighty accomplishment of putting up and maintaining the multi millions of $ worth of hardware flying around in space.
iOSD will report an actual number of satellites acquired on your monitor/goggles.J.James said:just out of curiosity when some one one says they had 10 or 12 or what ever number higher then 7 GPS sats locked in. How are they deriving the number over 7? Does the green light flash out a count or some thing? I only know about the counts from the amount of reds along with the green up to the 7+ count.
