Default Unable to setup GPS on Blackberry 8880 - 05-01-2008, 06:20 AM

Hello everyone

I'm at my wits end with my Blackberry 8880. I've got Blackberry Maps installed on the device and got capitol GRPS, correct APNs etc...

The BB is using BES.

But for some reason the phone will simply not correct to GPS.

Oddly I've checked the GPS settings under Options > Adv Options > GPS and the SatNav seems to be working because Fix time updates and it has 5 Sats and also has Lat and Long locations.

HOWEVER... it doesn't seem to have the option GPS Data Source... See attached image. The GPS Data Source simply doesn't exist! All the other options are there however as normal.

I have a feeling this is a the reason its not working, I have another BB 8880 which has that option available, and its set to Device GPS and its working fine.

Why is this option missing? Is there something wrong with my BB OS? I have V4.2.1.73 - latest from the O2 site. Also I do have Location (GPS) set to Allow on the Permissions screen.

Help!
