Also what other really cool apps would I be missing out if I don't have access to the phone with rooting? Any examples?

HUH? GPS works just fine for the Droid Eris. I have about 10 GPS enabled apps (Google Maps, CO-Pilot Navigation, the standard weather Widget, the standard Footsteps widget, and a handful of other small apps [like Compass, etc... that all are location aware and working great).
You may just have your GPS turned off. Google Maps won't turn it on by default. IF off, it'll just use the cellular triangulation. Make shortcut to the GPS switch and you can turn it on/off at whim to save battery.
