I was doing testing with different GPS tools from the Android Market.
I believe I found a program that may work. Do a search for "GpsFix"

Here is how I tested it.
1. Using FROYO x RED 02.06, GPS using Google maps will show my location as in the ocean somewhere.
2. Installed GpsFix, my GPS location is fixed instantly.

to rule out a fluke.

3. Formated my SD card with HP SD formatting tool.
4. This time I used a fresh ndno's FRX04 package with the 1253 kernel OCed at 710Mhz. From here
5. Google map - GPS shows me in the middle of some ocean again.
6. Downloaded and installed GpsFix
7. Google map - GPS shows correct location again.

I don't why it worked for me.
Not saying it will fix everyone's issues, but I just thought to share my personal experiences and hopefully might help others.

Feel free to ask me if there's any questions.

Only tested it on a Sprint TP2.

I use to use GPS Status from the android market.

On the older builds It locked on my location in a matter of seconds and was very accurate but on the more earlier versions it hasn't worked so well. or even work at all to be honest

Thanks for sharing this info!

A poster also suggested running quickgps on WinMo first and then try getting your location on android and they may help (nerver worked for me though but worth a try)
