If you navigate to Start > Settings > System, you may see an External GPS applet. Open it and note the GPS program port (COM2 is a popular default). Next, open Live Search, hit Menu > Settings, ensure that the port mentioned in the first field matches up, and then select Done to save the changes. From there, you should be able to open a map and use the Menu > Center on GPS option (it may take a while to acquire a fix if a cold boot is required).

I've configured it this way on five devices (two running Windows Mobile 6, three running Windows Mobile 5.0) and it works flawlessly each time. Hopefully, it will for you too.
