First in Google Maps do you have the option checked to 'Use GPS'?
I had the same issues at first, then I followed the instructions and ran the apps as in this post -

Make sure you install the SDKcerts CAB first, then restart the phone. Then install Quick GPS. This will restart for you a second time now. Then connect to the internet via browser or whatever, then run QuickGPS and 'Download' the latest satellite info. When I didn't connect to the net first, QuickGPS failed to download the updates.
Now run Google Maps, should be almost instantaneous. If not, uncheck the Use GPS and then recheck it. My TomTom does like to take a bit to sync up, but when I go to the Settings>GPS Config area then it finds the satellites real quick. |
Those instructions are for installing QuickGPS.... for the stock Verizon Touch Pro 2, QuickGPS is already part of the stock ROM. Open the start menu and click All Applications and it will be in the list. QuickGPS will only help you obtain a lock faster by getting you as close to a warm GPS boot as you can get without actually doing a warm GPS boot.
I have a Verizon TP2 and doing 80MPH on the NYS Thruway will definately show a 2 second lag. I will pass under overpasses and then look down at google maps and watch my marker go under them a second or so after looking down.
