cuppa-coffee, if GPS is important to you I humbly suggest you flash a different radio than the 1.12.20F that comes with that newer ROM of Alltel's. (Check Settings -> Device Info -> Software Information to confirm radio version.)
For some reason GPS is horribly crippled with that radio. You can find others here:

I use 1.12.34F personally, but others may work as good or better for you and your location.
Search the Touch Pro forums for "1.12.20F GPS" for results of the
many people griping about GPS issues with that radio (you'll find my own success story in there).
