I'm having a bit of the same situation. Googlemaps has never worked for me, and IIRC, on previous Telus Blackberrys, a patch or whatever was needed to access it as Telus was blocking it or something (could be wrong, I didnt really focus on GPS all that much).
However, my BB maps is working fine. Now my real problem is, SmrtGuard doesn't want to seem to work for me. I can get GPS lock where I'm sitting right now with 10 satellites in BBMaps, but SmrtGuard can't locate me. I'm already in contact with them, so hopefully, it gets fixed.
