Once it starts seeing more than 4 satellites AND it fixes then it works nicely with TomTom 7 and Google maps. I've tested driving with the TomTom - it was accurate although different than my TomTom6 with GlobalSat BT359 (always seems to say double the yards until turn but tells me to turn at the right time). The person who referred to priming the pump with the HTC GPS Tool had it right. It's as though my phone needs to warm up the satellite chip/antennae etc before it will work. During the time I wrote this it finally fixed. Maybe this is a good sign. If its consistent I will be happy even if I have to wait 5 minutes to fix. It's great that lllboredlll has been able to unlock this - many thanks.
I've noticed with my OnCourse2008 that I don't need to prime my GPS like I did on my Titan but I do with everything else I use the GPS for. As far as results go, I think there are definetly some variables that will definetly affect the results. An example would be last night I was gettin 6 or 7 to lock inside my house withing 15 seconds. This morning while on my way to work, it locked in 10 sats and seen 11 within 3 to 5 seconds. I am running the Telus radio. Sometime today I might to a radio experiment to see if there is any difference. There really shouldn't be but you never know until you try.

okay I got it to work. For all of you that this happens to. I simply changed the settings in google maps from automatic to COM4/4800 and it worked instantly.
When I use Google Maps, which I don't much. I end up having to prime my GPS with the HTC GPS Tool before Google Maps with function properly.
