Is there something I'm missing? I've tried changing the GPS stettings in Google Maps from "Manage by Windows" to the COM 8 and 57600 and both take forever to lock. My Touch Pro would at least lock within 10-15 seconds...

This seems to be a problem for some people, but I don't know if anybody has figured out an exact reason why. Personally, I'm very happy with my GPS as I usually get a lock in under 30 seconds. My TomTom can take 1-2 minutes (since I rarely use it so the battery is always discharged and has to find the satellites anew). I'm sorry I can't tell you why it's happening to you, but that's why so many of us are happy with the GPS...it works well for us.
