I haven't had stock Sprint rom in a month, but I'm guessing it should still be in the settings menu (go to the settings tab in touchflo3d then to go to all settings (bottom soft key), then there should be an option "aGPS settings" and then check the box to enable it).
aGPS (aka assisted gps) basically uses cellular signals to assist the GPS to find satellite signals faster. Another good thing to run is quickGPS before you turn on your GPS program (this will download the latest GPS satellite locations to help your GPS get a satellite lock faster).
ALSO: I love GarminXT because included in the price tag is access to traffic updates (saves me because there is constant construction where I live) and up-to-date points of interest via the internet from your cell phone as well as other cool stuff (it also tells me where all the gas stations are in my area and the current price of gas there). A lot of other GPS programs charge extra to get stuff like that.
