A quick question for those who have had luck with the AGPS hack: Will the registry modification work or will I need to do the entire thing?

Regardless, I'm happy to report that GPS does work just fine out of the box, you just need to make sure you are in a good area to lock onto the signal. I drove around with the phone on my dash (with a clear view through the front window) to lock my first signal. I had little luck just walking around the outside of the office.
Shadowtech's hack works exceptionally well. I have TomTom on my touch as well and was having to wait up to 5 min. on occasion for a GPS lock and then only 3-4 satellites. After the full hack, including the registry edits, I get locks in under a minute both inside and outside with 7-9 satellites! Just carefully follow the directions and you should be fine.
