I never downloaded Bored's original fix because everyone said it was unnecessary if you had Mighty ROM (4R3BORN) on your device -- which I do and it works great. I don't know if those people are right or not, but I will say that nothing I did, including changing registry entries, downloading QuickGPS Fix and HTC GPS Tool, monkeying with Advanced Config and other utilities, did a thing to get this thing to actually start seeing and locking on satellites. Then I downloaded the simple cab file that Bored posted on 6/6/9, ran it, and went outside. I got seven satellites in a few seconds and GoogleMaps integrated perfectly. Yeah baby.
Same boat here. Never posted, but I use the Mighty ROM and I have been frustrated since I bought my phone a month ago that I could not get Google Maps to detect the GPS.

I followed the instructions in the start of this post, and my GPS is working beautifully. Thank you very much, Bored!
