I have been experiencing some GPS update lag when using various gps apps. I have tried Garmin Mobile XT, Google Maps, CoPilot Live 8, iGo, and GCz (geocaching app). I have also tried each program using the "windows managed" option as well as setting it to com 4.

I usually have really fast locks, but the GPS chip only updates the position every 30-50 feet or so. When I am driving, its not really noticeable, but when I am walking, the lag is very noticeable.

I will post up a poll, so please vote, and please post up comments and possible fixes. Thanks!
I'm confused. You want to know if we experienced lag on our old Touch Pros or on our TP2?
Not that it matters to me as I did not experience lag on my TP.... Although my TP2 is even faster on GPS than my TP I wouldn't call it lag. My wife uses the TP and we sometimes run telenav simultaneously and it just sounds like an echo. Mine gives direction and hers follows.
