GPS on alltel 6800 - easy way

will this work with the latest alltel 6800 rom Version: 3.35.671.9 that was released on 4/28/08. I already have gps working thanks to a dcd rom but wouldn't mind having an alltel rom back just in case anything happens to my phone and i need a fix. would anyone recommend upgrading to the new rom and re-enabling GPS?

That's the rom I used. Works like a champ! My wife and I just took my 6800 house hunting with us and I couldn't be more pleased with it.

First off, GPS Enabled and locked in great!

This might seem like an odd question:

When I tried to use the directions function for Google Maps (downloaded to my mobile) it would only use my EVDO connection. I do not have the unlimited data plan as I am around wifi for 90% of my day. Does anyone know if it is possible to use the direction function to load the directions to my phone and then use the gps to track our progress against those directions?

start>settings>connections> click on advanced tab >then click on select network

specify the preferred network from the pull down menu or make one for wifi only.
