Hi, just wonder what is the different between GPS with 12 channels and GPS with 36 channels. Do it lock faster or what?

It's how many sattellites the reciever can lock onto at once. The more sattellites the more accuratre your position will be. 12 is the norm and I dont believe they even have 36 up there so IDK what good it would do you.

Plus you aren't going to get fixes on sats on the other side of the earth. For now 12 should be just fine.
