My GPS programs are set as follows:
Google Maps: Managed by Windows
Bing: GPS Intermediate Drive
TomTom 7: Built-in GPS Reciever
iGO 8: GPS enabled, Port = 4, Buad Rate = 9600
GPS Tuner: Port = COM4, Buad Rate = 9600
Tracky Pro: Port=COM4, Buad Rate =9600
same for Backcountry Explorer and Street Atlas Handheld.
Hope this helps and that it is not a defective unit.

I have the stock 6.1 rom and this helped tremendousy with google maps. I went from having my location "within 900 meters" (almost a kilometer! wtf) to 40 meters. I was really freaked out at first because my mogul was pinpoint accurate. Now my treo pro is close thanks!
