Restarted google maps and verified GPS settings are "set manually" to COM4 and 4800.

I still get the Initializing GPS.. till timeout.

Where did I go wrong?
That all sounds correct. Only thing I can think of is you aren't receiving a strong enough GPS signal, but your earlier post said you did get a lock.
Mine took a long time to lock the first time, but after I left it on long enough to download the almanac it's been really fast locking in.
I'm still a newbie, this is my first Windows Mobile phone and I got it late December. Hopefully someone with more experience will jump in here with something for you to try.
