Running om2008-testing booting from single partion uSD (kernel on same partition, loading from /boot/uImage.bin symlink), I have no direct problems. Performance is a bit meh and it's glitchy. For locations to work I need to have turned on GPS and let it sit. This can take a while. If I use tangogps it picks up quicker and then switching to locations it identifies my position. Tangogps seems to require a bit of task switching to update the screen, you'll notice this when the map moves but none of the buttons function. This seems to be a graphical problem. The accuracy of the GPS seems to be ok. Tangogps reports the speed of my car almost to the kilometer :) ... which I didn't expect. Good luck!
