Re: How-To Get GPS/Rev A on Sprint Touch

When the Touch first locked on, it showed my position within about 5 feet of my actual position. I was duly impressed. I was in a parking lot at a shopping center and the Touch had me right on, the Mio refused to accept the fact that I was not on a road and kept wanting to position me about 300 feet from where I actually was on the main road outside the shopping center. The Touch was just about fully charged when I started my commute (approx. 30 minutes) and I ran the Google maps the whole way, downloading sat pics as I drove along. When I got to work, the battery had lost one bar. Not too bad, but I think I'm going to need the car charger for the touch.
On that note, I do have a generic USB car adapter, does anyone know if can I use that with the Touch (using the Touch's pigtail of course)?

What ROM/other software do you have installed? What did you do to enable the GPS. Also how long did it take to get an initial lock with the Touch.
