I think I am doing something wrong, as I am not getting this to work all that nicely as I find other people who are posting have.
I have a HTC Touch, Alltel. Upgraded the firmware. Installed the GPS Driver and the kickstart.exe. GPS software can find the GPS itself, sometimes taking forever causing me to reboot the device in order to find it. Sometimes within a few seconds. I have tried Google Earth, GPS Test, and GPS Tuner, and all three act the same way. The biggest troubling point is NONE of them ever "lock on". And the Sats they do pick up seem to lose signal, just to get it again a minute or two later). At most, with GPS tuner I had 12 Sats, and could not get a lock. with in 20 or 30 seconds, I had 6 then it went to 1 then 8,.. 11,... 7,... 2,... I am outside when it does this with a clear view to the sky. Sometimes, even though it never gets a lock, Google Earth with show me my "wrong" position. About 200 or 300 meters to my south west. Google Earth will still say "trying to get GPS lock (0)" the whole time time, even when showing my bad position. If I wait a long time, it will sometimes tell me that it can't find a GPS and to retry or cancel. I have also gotten GPS Tuner to show my "wrong" position just as google earth does so I know its not a problem with the APPs.

Any ideas?
Thanks in advanced!

PS. My phone has also been running very slow since I installed the 2 two files you need to get the GPS working.
