I always thought that using the "new location" mode and entering something 
close to your new coords would help the thing figure out roughly where to 
expect the satellites and get a lock from there.  I'm guessing 15-20 min max, 
maybe more like 10 min.  It does need a good view though to see as many 
satellites as possible for as long as possible so it can figure out which ones 
they are and where they are.
