Thank you...
Everytime I try to Send Location on BBM, it said: "Unable to retrieve current location"...
I can chat through BBM from the same location but why can't i Send my location? Please enlighten me...

I guess the 8520 has gps? Assuming it does, then I believe you problem is the device cannot determine your location, possibly because you are indoors (?) or for some reason the device cannot "see" the gps satellites.

If you are sure your device should be able to get a gps fix, then do a battery pull and try again.

EDIT: Also make sure gps is not disabled in options.

The 8520 does not have GPS. The 8530 does.

There you go. I would have thought BBM would not present the send location feature if the device does not have gps, but I guessed wrong apparently.
