All, I am running mighty ROM 4.16 and love it!! one question, should the gps on my raphael work after flashing like it does with ssk's ROMs? or is there more configuring i need to do? second... are there better gps programs out there than just google maps?

Your GPS should work the same way on any ROM unless the ROM has GPS issues...
Since I only use the GPS when I'm walking I will recommend Windows live map. In NYC is excellent!!

I found the default radio to be lacking as far as GPS locking was concerned. I flashed to the USCC radio posted in the threads a bit up. Was much improved. However, there is a report that the USCC radio lowered EVDO speeds by quite a bit, so you'll have to tinker with it to see what you like. Just my $.02

If you have sprint, then I would suggest re-installing Sprint GPS(activate account) and then install Telenav 5.1
http://ota.telenav.com/ota/tn/choice/htc_htc.html
Again activate it. Requires password(last 4 digits of phone #) You will be very satisfied. You take advantage of your phone resolution and most imprtant it minimizes lag time tremendously....
Must follow instructions and it will work without loosing any of the advantages of MightyROM 4.16.

If you haven't upgraded radios, I suggest you look into that along with decent GPS upgrade....
