Has anyone gotten the GPS to work with the HTC Fuze and ATT?

It works great on my Fuze, but it just takes a bit longer to initially lock. Mine took me running the program "QuickGPS" (it's in your programs) and allowing it to download the satellite data. I then went into MENU and OPTIONS and selected all three checkboxes so I wouldn't have to do that again. I then exited out and soft-reset.
When I started the stock AT&T Fuze back up, I opened TomTom7 (although Google Maps should be similar), and took a short drive in the car. Within about 5 minutes, it had finally secured a lock on 8 satellites. Each time I've started up a GPS program since (even after soft-resets), it locks on in approximately 30 seconds.
Really hope this helps....
P.S. Also, use COM 4 and a baud of 4800. That was default and seems to work great for me...
