GPS does not work after wireless turned off
- I have a Verizon Storm, running .122. Upgraded .75 to .113 to .122. Everything works great except for the following issue.
If I turn of my wireless connection, when flying, and turn it back on the GPS does not work. The only way to get GPS to work is to resend service books. Weird, I have tested it many times same issue. Any ideas?

- Correct. garmin and Goolge Maps do not work until i resend service books. Google Maps uses triangulation and garmin is trying to acquire Sats until I resend service books.04-21-09 10:01 PMLike 0

Thanks for being a ****.04-22-09 08:52 PMLike 0 - First off I wasn't posting nonsense. I KNOW Google maps uses GPS but if GPS is not available it uses triangulation. Mine stopped working correctly two days ago, that's why I asked if anyone had any sugestions. FYI I did a wipe and reinstalled my OS and all is working again with GPS, know idea what happned.
