The various constellation viewing apps don't care if there's signal or not.

Other than that, if Norway and Germany are the same timezone, maybe Germany comes up as the dominant country (and thus preset) for units delivered to Norway.

I, too, am curious and mine thoughts are but guesses.

The only thing i can figure is that it got some info out of one of the wifi networks (all locked) in my neighbourhood and figured out the location.

I dont think the GPS could figure out my position (inside a brick building) literally seconds after switching on for the first time? My TomTom takes like 30 seconds from when i switch it on, way longer if i turn it on in a different location than i was when i turned it off.

You are going to love that feature if you travel.

Enjoy!

That's how web sites can block computers coming from specific countries.

If you log onto the Internet in a different country your computer will be assigned an IP address from that country.
