I too used to have problems getting locks, sometimes lock would come instantly and others would never. Even after updating to 2.03 PPST GPS left a lot to be desired. It worked great the first time after flashing, but over time GPS performance gradually disappeared. One day I decided to flash to GhettoFreeRyder's roms and after doing so I started to get consistent locks in under 15 sec everytime. GPS was 100% consistent with fast locks under 15 sec with 2.03 PPST.

When the new "official" Sprint leaked 3.03 ROM came out, I flashed to it after reading that many people were getting sub-5 sec locks with it. For whatever reason, the 3.03 rom had worse GPS performance...half the time it wouldn't work and half the time it would take several minutes to get a lock. So I flashed back to GhettoFreeRyder's v715 rom and now have consistently fast GPS locks again. Dunno what he puts in there that is different from other roms, you may want to try for yourself to see if it gives you better GPS performance.

I use only 2 map programs these days--Google Maps and iGo8. I do use AstroGPS primer for iGo8 but not with Google Maps if it means anything.
