GPS now works with BB Maps on the Pearl/Curve

yes you have to be outside or near a clear shot of sky from window. Last time I check to get satellite reception you have to have a receiver on the roof. well same goes for this, you have to be outside.

Quick note: From inside my building, Trapster does not work either.

End of days = Red Bars gone from vzw razrs...

End is near = gps unlocked...

@fonebrkr,

thanks for clearing that up

is anyone having the problem of not being able to see the streets and just location on a green map?

Do you need to have the verizon OS version installed? I have .97 and it isn't working even with everything set correctly.

do you mean 4.3.0.97? if so I believe you need at least 4.5.0.77 for it to work.

I have .97 on one of my devices and it works fine...

I tried the *228 and option 1 - no change

How do you resend the service book for the map application?

Hope fully nav 4 all and all the other gps aware apps begins to work or get updated.
There is : Whrrl, twibble, gpsd, ect.

There is also geatags on 4.5 for camera. Gonna go test that!

Yes you can get google maps on your phone. We (vzw employees) got notice of this a few days ago that the gps would be unlocked. I have google maps now and i love it. SCREW VZNAV!! yeah i work for them and I hate it and agreed with the class action lawsuit.

It works on my phone, I guess being next to the window didn't pick up the GPS. However, it is constantly searching and connecting say 5 times every minute. There aren't any obstructions in the way, and I'm outside. Does anyone else experience this?+

8830 with OS4.5 works too. Happy dayz.

I have 4.5...77 but I didn't get it from Verizon. Dunno if the GPS works with any of the other cdma os versions but it works great on mine!! Yay!!
