i think that using the old software was the problem, because now I actually have reception bars and it knows where I am. I'm gonna test it out on the road tomorrow. It picked up the signal instantly though even away from the windows. So the solution to using Garmin on the Fuze is make sure you are using version 5.00.200w and not 4. The 4 version is not compatible since there are all different options. Thanks for the help everyone.

Sorry, but I have been off-line for a few days. Very first question, have you registed the software? It will not find non-Garmin GPS receivers until you register the software. If that is not the issue, you might check these two threads: Garmin Mobile XT on HTC Touch Pro - xda-developers or Garmin Mobile XT on HTC Touch Pro - xda-developers. There are users in both threads that have Garmin Mobile XT working on their Touch Pro/Fuze.

On a side note, my GPS is now working great even after a reset. I loaded this ROM: [ROM] [WWE] [27-Jan-09] NATF's v4 ROM Series [Standard + Lite] [Fuze + Touch Pro] - xda-developers Standard Fuze version. This helped some, but I noticed most people happy with the GPS were using the 1.02.25.28 Raphael radio instead of the 1.02.25.32 Raphael radio in my phone. I changed the radio which is available here: [RADIO]Raphael Radio Thread - Latest BS 1.09.25.35 & QTZ 1.11.25.01 [16 Jan 2009] - xda-developers. If you have never flashed a Radio or cooked ROM, be sure to checkout this thread: [Resources] Flashing your First GSM Raphael Rom (For Noobs) - xda-developers.

After upgrading the ROM and changing the radio, the first fix took 3 to 5 minutes, sorry I did not time it exactly. Since that first fix, I get a fix in under 1 minute and more like 30 seconds. I had to hard reset at work today. I decided to try the GPS even though I was moving. This normally makes it take longer to get a fix if you can even get one. I am not sure how long it took to get the fix, because I had a fix as soon as I had OCN8 loaded and had set a route destination.

Before these changes, I was happy if I got a fix in under 2 minutes which was certainly not guarenteed. It definately would not happen until after the first fix after flashing a new ROM which is still the case or after a soft reset which now looks to not be an issue. I use to turn my Fuze on, start OCN8 and throw it in the chair by the door while I put my shoes and coat on. I hoped I would have a fix by the time I was ready to leave the drive.

Edit: Sorry I missed page 2 and did not see you had the issue fixed. I still think some people might be interested in the improved performance I am now experiencing.
