HP provides a program:
HP IPAQ Quick GPS Connection
(I got it from HP Getting Started CD that came with my phone.)
Install the program.
Connect to the internet (via active sync, edge/gmrs, or wifi).
Run the program from Start->Settings->Connections->Quick GPS Connection and click on "download now".
This application downloads timely data about the GPS satellites that enables your GPS to find your location faster. I get my location on Pocket Streets within a few seconds.
