I don't see a problem with this thread or it's basic nature discussion to discover any secrets or clues to the enabling of the GPS, I just have little hope of any resolution to hacking VZW lock on the GPS, which is why you haven't found the solution on any threads here or elsewhere. Not that it can't be done, it might be possible.

We just ask that you keep it civil. Very few of these type discussions have remained such.

Otherwise, a freedom mini gps puck is about the size of key fob for automobile, just hang it on your key chain, no biggie. You may consider it a significant degradation of your convenience, but for the device you purchased, it is the gateway to GPS.
