Phone #1 has a great GPS program and works fine but it appears that phone #2 with Winmobile 6.5 and a non-stock EOM has no built in GPS program.
So, my question is... Is this "problem" caused by the ROM or the version of Winmobile??
Thanks all,

There is nothing about WM6.5 itself to hinder an internal GPS. Most of the ROMs on the board here that I have looked at assume that you want to use it and provide either programs for that cooked-in or some discussion and links about why they didn't and where to find suitable software.
Which software in particular did you have in mind when you say 'no built in gps program' -- and which ROM are you running? Google Maps can be added free, as can Amaze, and there are a variety of tools by HTC and others for helping find satellites and diagnose problems.
Oh, and on an entirely separate note -- Larry, sorry about that time on that life raft after that whole 'cruise ship' incident where learned the hard way that the sun can burn the heck out of a balding middle aged man in a leisure suit if you doesn't cover that noggin...no hard feelings right?
