If some users here observe that the M3 needs even longer for a GPS lock in heavy cloud cover, then you shouldn't just "wipe that aside"...
On the contrary, some users might think that cloud cover is responsible for variations in GPS acquisition time, but they don't understand that GPS acquisition time is not constant and varies anyway, regardless of cloud cover.

... these are user observations here, not scientific studies, and you can't simply "wipe away" them using experiences you've gained with other GPS receivers...
And therefore once again: Based on the experience gained so far (with partly completely different hardware and software) one cannot solve a "completely new" problem...
You would never get any further with your knowledge that way!
You've lost me there .. I can't see the logic in what you are saying.
That was meant somewhat ironically, perhaps too abbreviated.
Your argument often runs along the lines of "I have 20 years of experience, so I'll say what's right here...".
So you could also claim that the M3 has no GPS problems at all, because (in your experience) every smartphone recognizes its location immediately after switching it on.
Yes, I made it a little easier for myself with this sentence...
That's exactly what I've said all along.
Sounds like you are agreeing ?
No, that's wrong!
The following sentence (in my post 24#) is part of my statement! This read:
"However, you must not conclude from this that this physical influence does not exist at all."
For your information:
In 2017 I developed a process (software) for a large German automotive supplier that deals with the topic of "dead reckoning" in moving automobiles.
It's about being able to provide the (as exact as possible) GPS coordinates despite disturbed GPS reception...
This is about having the GPS coordinates available at all times when driving through "deep urban canyons" or when driving through underground areas and so on. If an accident happens, such vehicles automatically (via mobile phone network) make an emergency call to get help. If the GPS signal cannot currently be received (or only poorly), this emergency call system would not be available. In large cities, however, it is also very important to lead the emergency services to the scene of the accident...
In the automobile, this (alternative) GPS coordinate determination can be calculated fairly accurately from the "old" (correct) GPS signals and the current vehicle data (vehicle speed, steering angle, yaw rate, ...). That was the solution to that problem...
During this time I had a lot to do with the possible interference with the GPS reception. That's why I have the courage to share my opinion on such topics here...
If you would like more information on this, please PM me. I would then send you excerpts of the documentation from 2017 if you are also interested in this topic...
