    Status: Open => Answered

Jakub Kowalski proposed the following answer:
Actual time is included in GPS signal and internal clock (if there is any) is synchronized automatically. It has nothing to do with Time to First Fix.
Advice of setting correct camera time is for geotagging photos. You should set your camera clock to GPS time, so geotagging software can connect photos with correct trackpoint.

If you want to see GPS time you can use GPSd (https://answers.launchpad.net/igotu2gpx/+faq/493) and some GPS software like TangoGPS. GPS time is always UTC.
For setting correct time on your PC just use NTP (which should be as accurate as GPS time).
