I recently replaced my VZW Titan due to multiple problems (GPS not working is not one of them) and I can't get this replacement phone to work worth a sheet... I tried 3.42.50/40/30, many different ROMS... even tried new VZW rom (though it sounds like I wouldn't be able to get anything to work anyhow)
I normally use Google Maps to test stuff and checked my settings under Windows (Com4, None, 4800, Let Windows manage).

Any pointers? I have no idea what else to try, and most likely can not complain to Verizon that they sent me a non-functioning GPS unit when they don't support it anyhow.... Many thanks!!!
I'm going to guess that the refurb they sent ya had the new update on it. If so, gc14 over at xda-developers has the solution. The PRI update breaks the GPS radio unless yout go ALL the way back. Here's his intructions:

Guys, the reason your GPS is screwed is because of the PRI the update installed.

"You need to go back to the stock bootloader (using Titan Relocker), then flash the original stock Verizon Rom letting the stock customizations run. This will roll you back to PRI 1.35. Once that's done, flash SPL 2.40/2.47 again followed by your custom rom/radio of choosing. You WILL have to reapply the Titan GPS Fix with QPST if you were using it prior to flashing the update.

Your GPS should be back to how it was after that."
