i have 8310...i've been using google map and though it was working all along...but it was using the trianglation instead...lol. cause when i go to my settings>advance setting>gps on my bb..it is not picking up any info. any1 also experience this problem and how to fix it?

[CO_BBTechie]

I experienced intermittent issues with that myself. Best bet, pull the battery while powered on, and try again with an open sky. I must have tried 6 times in a row to get a lock, then when I rebooted, I got it the first time.

GMM has issues with 4.5. You won't get GPS in GMM until GMM is upgraded for OS 4.5

Vincent, for your normal GPS signal, make sure you outside, in a clear view of the sky for a refresh, and wait up to 10 mins for a refresh.

I ended up uninstalling Google Maps, battery pull reboot, then reinstalled Google maps, then I had to re-trust the app to the GPS to resolve the same issue.

I noticed issues with all my GPS enabled apps after loading the .37 and again with the .42 beta. Within a few hours it started picking up the GPS signal. I'm not sure why this is, but both versions acted the same way. Now that it's getting the GPS signal, it seems to be faster than before. I can't remember if the released version included A-GPS. I notice that the betas do which might explain why they are quicker (once they work).

Ok I have been outside under a clear sky for about 10 minutes. No luck with gps picking up any data. U telling me I have to be outside for a few hrs to get this thing to work? It is over 100 degree today in nyc!

[JSanders]

No, a couple minutes usually does it. I have seen it take almost 10.

How open can the sky be in NYC?

[vincentnyc]

It report 0 degree for latitude and longitude. I saw a quick message saying gps fail to update or something like that before the message goes away.

[JSanders]

True, tall buildings can be a problem for a gps sync. The initial gps sync downloads the tables to the BB indicating where in the heavenlies the sats are located.

If you travel far, like by plane cross country, another initialization of the GPS is required likewise.

But I have seen a user here on this forum in Manhattan comment he had to go down to the Hudson or some piers to get a clear sky. That doesn't mean you will have to.... but?

[JSanders]

Where in NY are you?

[CO_BBTechie]

I ask that because I have much difficulty finding satellites from downtown Denver. And we don't have nearly as many (or as tall) sky scrapers as in NY.

[vincentnyc]

Oh got it now after a couple of refresh. Thx.

[darkdragoon]

GPS works but it takes a while to locate satellites.. However BB maps does not work.

[PaCharger]

I get GPS signal. My LiveSearch gets it....but Google Maps continues to hang at 90% while trying to get radio.

I've deleted 2.2 and reinstalled 2.1...same problems.
