Can you install latest update rom then add the radio and the GPS will work for 3rd party software?

Nope, and as a matter of fact if you plan on using GPS do not flash the ROM. There is more to GPS than just the ROM. There is something called PRI, Preferred Radio Instructions. I dont understand it all but the PRI included with the GPS ROM will hose your GPS hardcore. You will then have to follow the post about flashing back to stock then back to GPS to get it working again.

Just my two cents. Take it for what you want.

Eitherway, Good Luck to you!

I flashed the Sprint 6.1 Rom and then radio 3.42.50 and gps is working fine. I just checked with Live Search and it locked in three secconds.

Not sure where you got your "Matters of Facts" from, but you're not correct.
I flashed the 6.1 rom from HTC's site then used nueSPL 2.47 to unlock my Mogul then flashed TITAIMG.nbh or (radio 3.42.50) using a microSD card.
I use GoogleMaps & LiveSearch, and they both get faster GPS locks! Now that is a matter of fact!

Is there a guide to flash to the sprint rom w/o sprint updates and what to do to make it verizon?
