Do you have GPS lag on your Touch Pro?

Ok, so I want to see how many people are having issues with GPS lag on their Touch Pro. What I mean by this is not how much time it takes to get a lock. What I am talking about is your map shows you at a point you've already p*****. For example, you have 4 streets all spread about equally. As you pass street #1, you are still showing a position well behind. By the time you get halfway between street #2 and #3, you are just now showing as passing #1. This is just an example. If you are experiencing lag, please note what software you are using. Also, for those that are having lag problems, I recommend we e-mail HTC. From what I can tell over at XDA, a few people have e-mailed only to be told there is no issue. Maybe if they get many e-mails about the same issue, we can somehow get a solution.

Mine seems to be around 2.5-3 seconds, so that sounds about right. Which software are you using?

Mine is about 3 or 4 seconds using Garmin. There was a slight lag using Garmin no my Touch but not anywhere near this bad.

Yeah I always had lag on my Mogul with Garmin, but this seems to be pretty universal on the Touch Pro no matter which program I use.

You are using a Touch Pro with internal GPS correct? You device info shows you use a 700wx, so just wanted to make sure.

Hibby, have you done any tweaks or modifications to your phone? Just curious, because I would love to have mine at least close to perfect as you say.
