That varies alot, depending on the receivers intended market. Some 
brands has a tradition of doing this.

That is what you get when users promote a quick answer over a correct 
answer. Alot of efforts have been spent on delivering quicker answers 
after powerup. You can go the AGPS style and provide it with the 
correction value. That will certainly aid in several senses.

If you required the receiver not to give an answer before it had full 
data, you would get such a receiver.

Another method is simply not to listen to it the first 15 min of 
providing solutions.
