I am in the US, and all I can say is have you tried a newer OS, using the 'download+delete the vendor.xml' trick? I am running v4.6.0215 (Platform 4.0.0.184) - whatever all that means. I have none of these problems with my Bold; the GPS hooks up quick (like a few seconds) and stays hooked up all the way down the road, it tracks nicely.

Maybe they send different hardware to Rogers, I dunno?, but my Bold works great.

I had to install the newer OS version to get BB Maps to show up, because the death star blocks it, to coerce you into using their pay-to-play junk. I will never pay a monthly fee to use Navigator. If you want to sell me the app for $20 or so, I would buy it, but I am not going to rent a program - that is BS!
