It's a hardware limitation not a software one, and has nothing to do with Google. I put a basic explanation of what's going on in https://wiki.mobian-project.org/doku.php...e-slow-fix back when this came up before.
Your old garmin has a bigger antenna and a better signal to noise ratio, so has an easier time receiving the broadcast almanac and ephemeris data without errors and hence has a more reliable cold start.
