Wild Bill,
Using Bored's fix, I am running OCN8 and iGuidance directly with no problem of losing lock. However, I do lose lock with Google. I think it's Google, not the TP. I've also run a variety of different GPS tools and apps with no problem. Even running them all at the same time. If you want a reasonably priced GPS package, go to http://www.zorrogps.com/US/ If you're not from the US, copy and paste the main address. US and Canada will cost about $32. However, with all their different add-ons, I'm not sure exactly what you will get. Their download site doesn't open till tomorrow.
As far as a ROM goes, I'd suggest that you check out this one http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=54568
He has both Preconstructed ones, and a VERY simple kitchen where you can pick and choose to make your own. I never flashed a ROM before and had no problems with his. Again, you might want to wait a day or 2 because he is testing a new set of ROMS, and can be used with either Sprint or Verizon TP's.
