Second I am working on an ultra clean ROM that has no extraneous stuff in it. The purpose of this is to keep the OS clean and simple, while giving me the flexibility of adding anything via cab.
Thanks,

No it does not need to be if provisioned correctly in the registry.
Before I explain any of this let me ask you a serious question...
Why on earth do you want to worry about that when I have already stripped out the DRM on the GPS?
Anyways, here is a hint... Look very closely at the valhall cab. All the answers are right there if you know how to read a cab file. Specifically the registry. You seem like that type of guy that understands that from reading some of your other posts. Its basically just telling windows where the new default driver is and to use that. The reason VZNav still works is because I believe its hard coded to the drivers in \windows\. I dont know this for a fact but the cab should tell you. I used ot know how but I think its lame to use the cab. I would rather rip the ROM apart and fix it right the first time ;c)
(Yes i know that is not for everyone but its me)
But seriously please explain what you are trying to accomplish as I just am missing something. I am not saying this to be snotty, I really dont understand what you are ultimately trying to create. I just cant keep up with all the threads these days. The thread in my signature block is about to hit 500 posts over at XDA!!!! And that was for my Titan ROM btw.
Ide like to be able to help but I dont know what it is you are doing, ahhahahaha
