Hi DavidinCt,

I have a TP2 that I have toyed with Bing and Google Maps on it. I get realatively quick GPS locks woth both of those apps, but I am unfamilar with "turning off A-GPS" on this device, as from what I understand that is how the GPS chip in this device functions.

With that said, I have had 5 TP2s since I got mine this past Feb, and a couple of the replacements were for a faulty GPS. Both of those units would rarely get a lock. All of my unts that had functioning GPS get a second in no more than about 20 seconds (after a power cycle, usually less than 5 normally). I am currently running the new "MR3" stock ROM from VZW.

The one catch with Bing, is the VZW provided one disables navigation, as they want you to use VZ Navigator. Use the IE Browser (not Opera) on the device to download Bing directly from the 'net to get the version with navigation. Hope this helps!
