I'd say this is only for GPS receives with no backup battery and no onboard memory - for years now most receivers have had the capability of storing almanac and orbital data in volatile memory kept alive by a tiny backup battery or capacitor, which results in TTFFs of 10-30 seconds. What you describe is a cold start, i.e. a GPS receiver that has to sync clocks, download almanac and orbital data, and then start positioning, which indeed can take 10-15 minutes. I'd call this TTVFF (Time To Very First Fix). Otherwise very nice article, thanks! 10-15 minutes for a GPS TTFF???
