I have found a simple workaround for keeping the GPS on while the phone is on (not in standby mode as far as I can tell) I loaded
VisualGPSce using the cab file and I copied the VisualGPSce shortcut from the Windows\start menu\programs folder to the Windows\Startup folder and now the small program is always running keeping the gps on and with a current fix. of course after you install the program you will have to run it at least once and configure the serial port setting for the program to see the GPS com4 4800 baud by clicking the connect button then the checked serial port (com port). Then minimize the program by clicking ok under the soft key, not X
