Are the GPS settings hard-coded in these ROMs?

My internal GPS does this. It can even show what quadrant of my deck I am on when using Live Search.

Color me jealous. If mine worked that well, I wouldn't be asking these questions.

The overall point is... these settings should not be hard-coded, even if the internal GPS is supposed to work perfectly fine.

Apparently, HTC did not hard-code them, as the OEM ROM does not do it. Have you tried, just to see if it works, loading the Sprint OEM ROM package, not letting the customizations run of course, and then attempting to set up your external GPS in a way that works for GPS Today?

You also might try asking about the problem in the thread for the custom ROMs you are using.
