#/ State /Impact /Real Life Equivalent
1/ Factory / GPS has no idea where it is, reset to original protocol/bitrate /
You've just unpacked your GPS ;-)

2 /Cold /GPS has no idea where it is /
You haven't used your GPS for ages and the internal battery has run out or you turned it off and travelled a long distance (air flight, for example).

3 /Warm / GPS knows where it last was and which satellites were around but needs to get data from the satellites again (elevation, azimuth)/
You turned off your GPS or your PocketPC

4 /Hot / GPS knows where it last was and will reuse the satellite data /
You've driven under a bridge/tunnel and lost reception
