Now, here is my question. I seem to remember, when using Gmaps from my Touch Pro, that if i did a My Location, the app would keep the map centered around my Blue Location Dot. On my Hero, I have to move the map manually, which I don't like doing while I drive.

Is there a way to get this effect on the Hero? Am I missing something simple?

If you hit menu and tap my location, it will follow you until you hit a button or touch the screen. I think. You're making me doubt myself now

That is correct, but get rooted and run one of the 2.1 Roms and get Google navigation. It's SO worth it!
