But I think folks are confusing different forms of "Lag". Someone had the "normal" lag issue from the crappy COM Port emulator (that GPSGate deals with or Good Apps that don't use COM ports) And found that "Driver" on XDA. It was not developed for the TP2 and there may be issues with other devices. Or people wanted something better than standard GPS Behavior. I really think you do not need this driver. The developers main phone is a DIAMOND. Diamond never had an issue with laggy GPS (at least the CDMA one didn't).

TP2 GPS out of the Box works great.

Also this "Driver" on XDA is a COM Port Emulator and effectively may do the same as GPSGate which is eliminate the need for Windows Mobile GPS COM port emulator.

The modified driver I posted was a free alternative to GPSGate. It's a little more than an emulator; it also includes software generated position updates (instead of polling the GPS chip again) to smooth out map display movement and scrolling.

Regardless of whether it was developed by a Diamond owner, it is developed for the WM platform and there are plenty of users on XDA with WVGA devices that use this software package.

The only strikes it really has against it IMO is the setup doesn't have the polish of a commercial solution.
