I'm using GPSGate instead, and that works fine. It's not free, though.

Menu>Settings
No boxes checked on any of the three tabs
Menu>Extensions
GPS Provider: NMEA Input
Configure: GPS COM Port COM4, Mirror GPS Input to Output Port checked, COM2
Extensions: GPS Fix Info, GPS Satellite Info
Menu>VirtualComPorts COM2
iGuidance is set to COM2 and 4800 baud
Make sure you run the programs in the right order; start Wififofum, wait until it locks at least 3 satellites; leave it running and start GPSProxy, hit Start and wait until you see GPS data; leave it running and start iGuidance

One of the apparent peculiarities of the internal GPS in the Titan, or at least of the current implementation of it, is that the GPS can be turned on or off through the "master switch" in the Location setting of the Phone app, but the GPS does not actually activate and lock on to satellites unless it receives an Open command that most GPS programs do not issue. Hence, the requirement for a program such as Wififofum, GPS Viewer, HTC GPS Tool, or a similar program to run in the background and issue (and reissue when necessary) the Open command. I have found Wififofum to be the most stable of those and it is free.
See the above for the GPSProxy settings.
