My GPS works fine on my 8330 on MTS.

Sometimes it takes really long to get GPS lock though.
I find if you use GPSed (free download from their website or appworld) it gets GPS lock quicker then BBmaps, then you can close it and go to BBmaps and it works fine.

I usually go into GPSed settings and choose the option "Reset GPS" it gets GPS lock pretty quickly after that.

Hope this helps.

I used GPSed, finally got it to pick up some satellites, but of course before I noticed it found some it lost them again, and drained my battery. I think I'll just stick to my TomTom for GPS.
