I just got 9700 today and I have not been able to activate and run google maps. Has anyone had luck?

Also it's been a while since I've downloaded apps. What is the best gps free software outthere?

[ssshhh]

Mine worked earlier. I was just messing with it trying to get it to work. So you're not the only one.

Google maps works on mine. There is a BIS outtage today (apparently, I have not appeared to be affected yet).

Didn't work the first time I opened it. Had to close out and re-open.

Working fine now

It didn't work at first for me. It hung up at the very first loading screen. I reset the device and it worked fine after that. Now I'm having problems loading up the maps, but it's probably because of the BIS outage.

GPS is not working for me on my 9700. It just keep bouncing around. Anyone else seeing this?

[shlee]

Mine works but then it will say GPS Halted. Then it cant find my location. Other times its ok. Ugh

I am a BB newbie, so please have patience with me. I just got my 9700 from AT&T & downloaded Google Maps. However, it is not giving me my position within 10 meters, 20 meters etc, like I am used to on my WM devices. I am also not seeing any kind of "acquiring satellites" or the number of satellites acquired.

Do I have to enable something in my device for this to work?

Thanks much.

im having trouble with google maps also, when i do my location it comes up with the town i used to live in 170 miles away.

Im hoping this and the google sync issues are cause of the BIS outage.

My Google maps is now giving me my location at 1300 meters. While not completely unacceptable, yesterday was within 3 meters of my house.

Now, mine says GPS temporarily unavailable.

[Resident Mortician]

mine still isnt working and i went into the gps settings and everything is enabled but still no workie, ill try again outside later on as some have said it doesnt like to work indoors, but i would think that it should **** my G1 worked indoors just fine, but maybe it had a stronger GPS radio or something. Its not something i use all the time, so its not a huge deal, but it would be nice to have it working.

Same here. I had called the store & they told me that Google will be issuing an update, I hope he is right. I am too spoilt by the GPS on my unbranded WM device. Other than that, I really like the 9700.

My GPS works with even better accuracy than my Treo. Now AT&T had to send an OTA because I wasn't being able to open .jpg attachments on my E-Mail, I don't know if that update did somethong was it a Google problem.

Whatever the case I am very happy
