Well, my tomtom one V2 takes a couple (5-10) of seconds to wake up
again. but that time includes reinitialising the bluetooth chip,
checking the SD card, restarting the GPS, loading AGPS data and
resuming the navigation software. If you don't have to do all those
things it would probably resume a lot faster.
