Has anyone actually verified that GPS works?? All I see in the thread are messages saying they can't get GPS to lock with JD's test rom.

you can't because of sprint's servers. That's why in Sprint Rom's they just removed the option.

the one JD uses in his cooked ROM pushes the text box to the top....

I installed JD's Alltell / Sprint WM 6.1 Rom yesterday. I can confirm that OUT OF THE BOX the GPS works!!

All you have to do is install Google Maps, run it after the install then click Menu -> Use GPS. Now you just have to wait.
After I had a lock on a few satellites (took about 5 minutes or so), I fired up Tom Tom, set it to Com 4 and I used Tom Tom to navigate me home

Issue is (ironically enough) the one working WM6.1 ROM featuring GPS is for Sprint, and I'm on Alltel. Perhaps the kitchen that is under development will have the option to select carrier?

Actually the WM 6.1 Rom is non-carrier specific. I am running JD's WM6.1 rom on a Verizon Touch with no problems.

Awesome news, Any idea when the kitchen is supopsed to be released?

I can confirm also that JD's rom work with no problems. Both Rev A and GPS. I cleaned up the rom a little bit for my tastes and I'm on sprint. I have a basic rom if anyone is interested I just may post it. I just have to figure out how to put the standard Comm Manager back in it.

Yeah I have JD on mine right now and GPS and REV A work flawlessly. I had to find a program for tomtom to activate the GPS before the program launches. I can't get QuickGPS to work correctly though.
