Note: This is unneeded on newer devices such as the HTC Diamond or HTC Touch Pro. I have personally verified GPS works without toggling on my Touch Pro.

To fix the power management GPS issues with GPS Toggle and the HTC Titan/Mogul/XV6800, install the cab found here.
Summary:
BAF GPS Toggle is a today screen plugin for Windows Mobile. It has been designed specifically for the HTC Titan, but should work on most other Windows Mobile phones that have a need for this type of application.
BAF GPS Toggle is written in native code (not .NET), and uses very little memory. It sits on your Today Screen, allowing you to click on it to toggle GPS on and off for your applications. While GPS is toggled on, it also displays lock status as well as the number of satellites and GPS signal strength from each satellite. Simple as that. It is similar to the GPSToday plugin, but simply toggles GPS on and off as opposed to checking for nearby contacts in your address book and doing tons of things (which helps conserve memory and battery life).
Version 1.9 Update:
GPSToggle v1.9 has been released! To update, download the updated cab file and run this on your device. Install to device (not memory card), as changing this option doesn't change where it installs anywhere. After installation, soft reset, and you will be running the updated toggler!
Version 1.9 adds various tweaks, including a display to show lock status and GPS signal strength. There are screenshots below showing the changes.
Shout out to diiishe for creating the on/off icons for this plugin, and colonel for advising on the user interface for the lock status/signal strength.
