I think there is another piece of fine print in that area.  I'm not sure 
where I saw it, probably one of the Garmin docs.

The idea is that you can't trust the first few seconds of data when it 
switches from not-enough satellites to enough.  I've seen it give bogus 
position (way off) marked as valid.  I think they all happened right after 
recovering from not-enough-satellites.

I'll scan log files if anybody wants examples.
