now im wondering is gps on all the time? will it consume my battery?? in future roms will we be able to enable/disable gps via comm manager?? questions questions....

I think its the same as the mogul... if you have an app open thats using it its on and draining the battery... if not its not on per se. You can disable it by going to settings -> phone -> services -> Location setting -> get settings and switching it to off. But it shouldn't drain the battery if its not in use.
I also got it to work with google maps, took about a minute for it to lock. I'm going to try quick gps and see if that helps or hurts. I had 3-4 on one side of my building in my apt complex, 5-6 on the other side. After the signal went out though it didn't lock back on.. had to toggle use gps off then on and it poped right back up. All in all seems to work real well. My mogul which i had for about a week by comparison had around 12 active satelites.
So to recap, I hard reset, let the customization go, installed google maps, clicked use gps, waited approximately 1-2 minutes and it got a lock. Its accurate. This is with JD's ROM. Not sure why this didn't work before for me cause I could have sworn I did exactly this last time.
