Root What's a good stable ROM with a fast GPS lock that still has camera functionality?

Hey guys, i'm still on stock rom. However, i'd like to use my triumph as my car navigation GPS. Which stable ROM do you guys suggest that has a GPS that doesn't take 5 minutes to lock like stock ROM does, but still has camera functionality (i'm guessing i'm restricted to froyo/gingerbread roms?)? I don't care about HDMI so that doesn't bother me if it doesn't have it.

Thanks guys!
 
SHARP ROM or U9000 ROM has the fasted GPS lock I believe and they are froyo ROMs. There are also CM7 ROMs(MTDEV-CM7, I remember Starship being pretty good, etc.) with GPS fixes that are pretty fast if you would rather use gingerbread. Not sure about CM9 or CM10

EDIT: Didn't see you needed a functioning camera. so you probably won't be using CM9 or CM10
 
Sharp from what I've read is supposed to have the fastest GPS lock and its Froyo based so everything should work

Starship has also gotten great reviews, but since the mtdev team has grown bigger the dev has since finalized it and joined the mtdev team

Which leads to probly the most popular new rom mtdev-cm7 20120819, has upgraded GPS although its been reported by some users that the sharp is faster, this would possibly be your best choice, also its gingerbread based with everything pretty much working except HDMI, almost all the great triumph devs have joined forces in mtdev team so this one is probly the best bet in future upgrades and future awesomeness lol

I've used both, the sharp is the fastest and it's a good solid Rom. I went back to the mtdev cm7 because I wanted a phone hotspot for my nexus 7.The GPS on the cm7 isn't bad tho, and there are additional features. You'll be happy with either one.
 
I'm using the MTDEV CM7 ROM and I'm really happy with the GPS performance on it. The camera also works great on it. Overall its a very stable ron and battery life is also great. It's by far my favorite ROM I'very used yet.
 
I tried the Sharp rom but after using the MIUI rom for 6 months I just missed its UI too much. I am OK sacrificing GPS speed for the awesome UI of MIUI.
