sadly i am no longer getting the lightening fast locks... now it is taking around 30 seconds, but i believe that it is because either a. someone over at xda said the vzw server went down. or b. the server is getting a lot more requests now because everyone is using this... however, 30 seconds IS STILL BETTER than before...

try going into the google map settings and filling in the gps info instead of having windows manage it.. put it on com4 and 4800 as the baud rate

Since this requires data transfer, will i be charged only when connecting to gps or the entire time i'm connected to gps?

only when connecting to gps... once u connect to gps you should go to comm manager and close the data connection... hope that helps
