Default Third party apps and GPS

Btw, TE does NOT automatically jump to the current position. Once a GPS position fix is received you need to click the trackball (or the screen on Storm) in order to jump to the current GPS position on the map
It is true that Verizon disabled the GPS on their phones until the Storm. My Storm has Nav4all, Trimble Outdoors, Blackstar, Blackberry Maps, and Google Maps. The GPS works in all of these. It does not work with Topo Explorer.
