Please help me with ideas, suggestions, links etc!

So what's not working ? Google Maps ? With mine today, I turned on the GPS, open Google Maps. Used it for a bit ( you could see the GPS icon in the status bar ). Then I closed Google maps and left the GPS on. The indicator in the status bar GPS indicator was then gone. I turned on Google Maps again and I had an instant lock. So I know it was working, just no program was using it, so there was no indication.
