I've updated my ROM to Scott's CE OS 21028 Build 21028 and wanted to know the following:
1) After updating my ROM, I'm connecting to verizon's dial up network for the internet. Is this normal, or should it be connecting to verizon's 3g network (my carrier is verizon).
2) I'm trying to get some sort of GPS functionality for the touch pro. I can't seem to get any sort of GPS lock (using google maps, etc.). Are there additional steps that need to be taken in order to get GPS working after the ROM update?
I apologize if these are basic questions. I'm new to the community and just simply trying to get caught up.
Thanks.

As others have stated, you're connected to the data network. Whether it 1x (slow) or EVDO (fast) is beyond your control. You can tell which you're connected to by looking at the top task bar. I'm not sure which icons Scot put up there, but typically, if you were connected to the EVDO network, you'd see EV in a box up there. As I mentioned above, there are newer, "prettier" icons so I really don't know what you'll see. If you're at home, with a wireless network, you can go to COMM Manager and turn WiFi On and it will connect that way.
In regards to GPS, do the !!!BORED!!! FIX FIRST, then under Phone/settings, make sure that the location is turned on. To get google maps to work, in Settings, under External GPS, for Programs, set it to COM4 then go to Google Maps and also set it for COM 4. If you're not familar with GPS, sometimes it does take a while to get the "first" fix. Make sure you're near a window or outside when you first try it. It makes it easier, and you're sure you have a GPS signal.
