there may be a fix - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=336079

when I try to geocache with my touch (using the newly enabled GPS) it does not really register unless I am moving over 5 miles an hour so typical walking speeds aren't monitored by the GPS rendering it basically useless for geocaching. I have tried beeline and it basically freezes when I slow down.

is this not the issue for everyone?
I have not had this issue with my Mogul. Which app are you using? Some of them filter motion under a certain speed. You may have to look for a setting.
