What was interesting was that Google Maps did not work in Europe with my phone and version of GM I had at the time. When I turned it on it showed me in Spring Texas when I actually was in Prague airport. Same thing happened in Amsterdam.
If you tried Google Maps and it didn't work it seems you expected the GPS to work too, as I did. There is no CDMA service for Verizon in Europe, only GSM, so the 1800-ft-accuracy tower triangulation that Google Maps falls back on would not have functioned. I know Verizon has received a large number of complaints about this and they have acknowledged they disable the GPS outside the US as well.
