 @7f73a7d1 Oh! I don't think it has, but I will check the datasheet. It very much is a coldstart.. 
 @57e9b6fa I don't see a backup battery on the board. If you don't have one and it's not built in to the module, adding one can speed up subsequent fixes by a lot. They are usually tiny, 5mm dia, few mAh lithium batteries. 
 @7f73a7d1 It doesn't have an internal one, will leave it running for another 30-40 mins and check whether it will find some satellites 
 @57e9b6fa If you're building a bunch of them, to speed up the initial fix, the module may have a way to upload assistance data downloaded from the manufacturer's servers into the module. That data is updated every few hours and speeds up the inital fix and improves accuracy. 
 @7f73a7d1 I currently only have one and don't plan on building many more. Still it is open source and I don't want others to have the same disappointing experience as I do :D
The whole board is battery powered, I probably can use the main battery for that task
