I upgraded using the latest Alltel ROM from the HTC web site and also followed the above procedure and my GPS has been working great.

Ater flashing with the new HTC ROM, you need to make sure that:

START>SETTINGS>PERSONAL (tab)>PHONE>SERVICES(tab)>LOCATION SETTING(get settings...)> is set to ON.

Also, START>SETTINGS>SYSTEM(tab)>EXTERNAL GPS>GPS PROGRAM PORT>is set to COM4 and under the HARDWARE(tab) the GPS HARDWARE PORT is set to NONE and BAUD RATE is set to 4800.

Do a soft reset. Go to m.google.com and download the Google Maps app. After it's installed and you open it up go under the menu and pick "USE GPS". That's how I got my Altell HTEC Touch to work.

Go to settings - phone - services - hilight location setting - click on get setting - pick on. Your GPS should work.

You are running Windows Mobile 6.0
I suggest you upgrade to 6.1 or 6.5
There are stock rom upgrades in the upgrade forum or you can unlock and flash a custom 6.1 or 6.5 rom.
