Normally when the unit TRULY powers off during GPS usage, you lose the signal... The GPSOne chip seems to "freak out," as well. You have to soft-reset most of the time to get GPS to work again.

I have to say, that if you have the right ROM, and the right configuration, your GPS should lock on well before the unit powers down in the 30 or 60 seconds it is set to...
