Default Beyond 411 GPS problem

Please Login to Remove!

Just got my new blackberry with GPS, the GPS seems to work great except when I try to use it with beyond 411. Everytime I do a search for anything it gives me results in BC Canada or Washington (the state) when I live in PA. It seem as though the GPS thinks I live somewhere I do not. I know beyond 411 works because when I use the home location or work location it gives me the proper search results. I also know the GPS works because I have used it with google maps and it shows the proper location I live at. So any idea what the problem may be?

Mine is telling me "GPS is not currently available" even though I know it is since GoogleMaps is working. Not sure what the problem is but any help is appreciated.

I know this sucks but I found if I do a manual GPS refresh then I can generally get Berry411 to work correctly. I believe the problem is it uses the position already loaded in GPS and doesn't have it refresh before determining your position. I find live search has a similar problem. The difference is Live Search acknowledges your position is bogus..

Funny after the beyond 411 issue I went and downloaded Live Search and for the past day or so not one issue, the GPS search works great. It looks like goodbye to beyond 411

I found a mobile version of LiveSearch, but not a download. Is there an actual app you can download for Blackberry?

Try doing a manual refresh of your GPS.
