The GPS doesn't glow green it's actually the backlight for the call buttons which incidentally sits behind green plastic.
If you cannot get a good fix with your GPS then try standing outside since it's not particularly accurate inside buildings.

I have a doubt that the gps hardware in our phone directly connects to satellite, or it connects to satellite using our mobile data connection....

GPS in your phone is just an FM radio receiver capable of turning in the GHz band it doesn't transmit back any data.
The satellites send information and timing data which the phone takes to calculate your approximate position.
The more satellites you can pick up and the better your reception the more accurate your co-ordinates will be.

Okay....

It was suggested that the GPS doesn't work well with CM7 or be it not very accurate so I did some testing with two Racer handsets one running Android 2.1 the other Racerboy's (dealink) CM7 ICS mod.
Satellite synchronisation seem to take longer with CM7 although the difference was negligible sometimes my Garmin takes longer to find a signal which seems typical for GPS units.
As for accuracy between handsets I found no difference Google Maps put me within 1 meter of my current standing location which was quite impressive.
If you're still having accuracy issues try another ROM if that doesn't help then perhaps your GPS is faulty or have timing issues.

Which ROM are you running??

I am using racerboy's cm7.2 rom,I read about an app called gps status so I installed it & I downloded gps assistant data,after this I was connected to 9 satellites & that app recognized my longitude & latitude in around 10 seconds (I turned off the data connection),& it was really very accurate,but when I try gmaps it shows my accurate location but gps doesn't gets locked,it keeps on blinking.......
