does anyone use the amAze gps v4.2 program? i have a bb curve 8310 and i downloaded amAze for it but when i open it it says communication problem. i set all the permissions for this app to "allow" but still doesnt work. im still kind of a rookie when it comes to bbs, so can anyone help me?
I have only just resently tried amAze and haven't really given it a a thorough test yet, but it has generally worked fairly well. Have you made sure that your GPS is up and running and fresh. Before starting amAze, goto Options - Advanced Options - GPS - Menu (BlackBerry Button) - Refresh GPS, then wait for it to finish Scanning for Satellites and then start up amAze.
The GPS only works when you are outside, not when you are inside. Google Maps have one of those triangular positioning system that uses the cell towers to approximate your position. When you are inside, the GPS can't get a lock on the satellite, so Google Maps switches to the triangulation method using cell towers. I don't think other gps programs have that, that's why they can't get a lock on your position. Also, just a recommendation, try Windows Mobile Live Search...WAY better than Google Maps Hope that solved your problem!
