SLOOOOOW to pick up satellites

I've been back and fourth with custom ROMs and stock ROMs. I have a Verizon Touch Pro. I recently have tried a few more custom ROMs but I continue to have a major problem with GPS which is that it can take minutes, sometimes 10's of minutes to connect to the satellites. I have no idea why this is the case. If I burn the stock ROM and run VZ Navigator it works great but Google Maps with the stock or custom ROMs take forever to get satellites. I have tried QuickGPS and GPSTool and they seem to make no difference. I can't live without the GPS ability and I can't wait 20 minutes to get a signal. Worst case I'll have to go back to the stock rom and VZ navigator but I'm hoping that someone has some insight and maybe I have to program something or run another program or perhaps Verizon opened up the GPS and makes it painfully slow with any program other than VZ Navigator so that you will be forced to go with VZ Navigator.

Thanks,
Tbone
