They are both free and very effective.
By the way, GPS is available all over the globe... Obstructions to the sky are what limits you.
Are you using 3.35 or 3.37?

Thx for the info. Im on 3.37 from the alltel rom. Ill try those programs. Last year i was traveling across the states and had a fusic and the gps worked great on it. It did not work in all areas though. Every major city it worked without a hitch. Maybe that was just coincidence. Also i havent tried until just now, but i cant get a lock anymore since my phone has been sleeping for a few hours. A soft reset fixed it.
Edit: well i cant figure out how to install java apps correctly. I have only got one opramini 4 to install successfully. Im using jbed build 20080222.3.1. and i get java.lang.noclassdeffounderror. i have both jar and jad files in the "my documents" folder and install them with the jbed installer. oh yeah the program im trying to load is gpsviewer.
