I would use NueGPS. Its cooked into a lot of ROMs and its free. Very little resources and it works great.

I have MJConfig installed. Works great!

(haveno clue how to do that) so that if they hard reset it reinstalls and sets back up.

i thought with sprite terminator you couldnt hard reset without putting in your password am i wrong?

Even after having gotten a GPS fix on a lost/stolen phone, theres still no guarantee that youll be arriving at the correct front door. My GPS constantly tells me im two (or more) houses down the street. Should one then search and threaten everybody on the block?

nueGPS is scary good. I just pinged it from Gmail Chat (lab feature) and put the lat long into gmaps. Got a street view of my car, driveway and house.
