Turn Location on.
Turn AGPS on.
open start/GPS/HTC GPSTool. Set the baud rate to 115200, click Open Port, click Start Test.

I have to let it run for about 15 minutes (ends up being 13-16 loops or so). For the first 10 minutes or so i will get no locks. After about 10 minutes or so i start to lock on to stelites. After it locks on 5 or 6, i click stop test.

After doing this i never have to do it again until i flash. It has just become part of the flashing routine for me. After doing the above Google Maps will lock on 6 or 7 satelites within a few seconds and all other GPS/Weather apps work great.

Hope this helps.
Have you tried to explicitly tell Google Maps to use GPS on COM4? (you can set this within the Gogole Maps GPS settings options).
