I'm not sure if this really helps too much or not, but my GPS in Android never puts me in the ocean anymore. Sometimes when I try to use Places or Maps it thinks I'm in the last city I was locked in on and gets stuck there. I don't normally wait to see how long it is going to be stuck, I just task kill Maps/Places and disable then re-enable GPS and it works fine.
I have a Sprint Touch Pro2 (Rhodium400). Here's what I do:
I have two exe files in my startup folder in WinMo; one is for the Startup Utility and the other is for Google Maps. When my phone turns on in WinMo, Google Maps opens first then the Startup Utility. I never even see Google Maps or do anything with it. As soon as the phone is booted up, all I see is the Startup Utility and I hit "Boot" to get back into Android. That way I never have to worry about re-starting it for the GPS.
I am thinking about trying the Gen Y Dual Boot. I haven't started reading too much about it yet, but putting Google Maps in the startup folder in WinMo might not work for that setup. Anyway, hope that this trick might work for someone else.
