To add on JakeRich's comments, most SW stores the last GPS position, so if you have not moved much, you should be able to get a fix within 1 minute even after you power off the PPC. This has been my experience. I think this is also considered a warm start. For example, when I reached my destination, I powered off the PPC but did not exit the application. When I turned the PPC on againat the same location, it only took 10-20 seconds to get a fix.
Another comment on getting a signal quickly. Most people hold the PPC and CF card vertically when trying to acquire a signal. That's not the optimal way. I learned the quickest way to get a signal to the lay the PPC with CF card horizontally, facing the sky. This is to make sure there is no blockage from any direction.
