You can use Google Maps with Latitude, or maybe even when Loopt comes out for the storm if its not out already, but there is no program out there that will let you see other people/storms out there against there will. i believe thats invasion of privacy.
That was originally the problem, which i realized seconds after originally posting.
However, I then changed it and still, 15 or so hours later, it still says that and I get a giant blue circle of where I might be.

My GPS location is turned on, google maps is allowed location data in the connections menu, i've restarted the device as well as uninstalled and reinstalled maps, I've tried both Global and 1XEV, everything I could think of, but still nothing.
When i hit the blue circle it just immediately says "Your location within 2300 meters" and the giant blue area where I might be will not go away.
I'm right near a major city, so it's not like I'm short on coverage.
I will let my secret out. Lol. No one ever talks about this app. TRY BLIP. IT IS AMAZING. I love it. Battery Drain, maybe, but better then a stolen phone. FIND it fast, before the battery is out. I dare someone to steal my storm. LOL.
GPS coverage doesn't care if you are in a city or in the middle of a corn field... actually, it works BETTER if you are in a corn field because you have a better view of the sky.
when you have the big blue circle, it is simply showing which cell tower you are connected to and the radius is an approx distance that the software thinks that cell tower signal can reach. if there are a lot of tall buildings around you, you will have a hard time picking up a GPS signal from multiple satellites...at which point, it will just give you the cell-tower-circle-of-doom.

Second that. InstaMapper is pretty slick for bare bones tracking. Make sure you get the Storm version so you can disable a-GPS in the InstaMapper settings.
