If the Garmin is a pocket style unit with AA batteries, do note that
the TTFF takes a lot shorter with new batteries.

Yes, the Nexus (non cell version) uses WiFi to get "in the
neighborhood". The Android software will exploit the WiFi position as
well as last-known WiFi location. See the following Wikipedia entry on
TTFF for a good description of what happens when the GPS receivers try
to get their position.
