Now I have GPS today running and I am sitting in my house typing this connected to 4 satelites. All I can say is be patient and make sure you have a clear area to get connected. Once that happens it should work great.
Where would I find this HTC GPS app? I have tried getting a lock with the GPS Viewer... but have been unsuccessful. (FYI: I am running OMJ's ROM, I like it the best so far). I'm looking foward to everyone posting a vote for the best ROM. Will make it much easier for us "newbies".
