Did i miss a step?
Oh - I'm currently using Blazingwolf's 6.5 rom.

The only two steps necessary after unlocking the GPS is to:
1) Go into Settings -> Personal -> Phone -> Services Tab -> Gps (then click change setting) -> Change to "Location on" and accept the disclaimer. Soft reset
2) Set the COM and Baud settings to 8 and 57600 respectively (although this doesn't seem to be necessary for everyone)
If you've done both of these already, then repeat step 1 by switching back to "911 only" then soft resetting, then switching back to "Location on" and then soft resetting again
Then remember that, since we don't have a-GPS yet, you usually need to sit outside for your first lock and it may take several minutes/tries to get one. So once completeing the steps above, bring a chair outside on a nice clear sunny day and turn on Google Maps, then sit and wait for a few minutes til you get a lock
