- Is anyone's Google Maps working? My Sprint Navigation and Blackberry Maps works fine, but my Google Maps which I use for Google Latitude can't seem to either
1) Be accurate within 5 meters as to where I'm at. Keeps coming up "Location within 500 Meters". (That's nearly 6 Football fields off from where I'm at.)
and/or
2) Can't even get the GPS to become available. "GPS Unavailable" But BB Maps and Sprint Navigation work fine when I see this message.
I just wanted to make sure I'm not the only one. Thanks in advance.07-23-09 10:03 AMLike 0 -

- Here is how I resolved this issue:
First, make sure GPS is set to "Device GPS" and "Location On." (Options > Advanced Options > GPS).
Second, go to your application list (Options > Advanced Options > Applications), scroll down to Google Maps (you should be running 3.0.2), highlight Google Maps, and press the Blackberry Button. Under "Edit Permissions" all three options (Connections, Interactions, and User Data) should be set to "Allow". Under "Edit Default Permissions" all three options should be set to "Allow".
Before changing these options, GMaps was giving me a location withing 500 - 1900 meters (cell tower triangulation). After changing these options, it's down to less than 10 meters. Hope this works for you.07-23-09 10:34 AMLike 0 - Here is how I resolved this issue:

That's strange, because my Sprint and AT&T friends have no issues w/ their GPS locking on in downtown; granted they don't have BB's.07-23-09 11:24 AMLike 0
- I can't get the GPS to work on Verizon with the Tour either. I've changed all the settings that people have suggested. I even reinstalled gmaps. Any other thoughts?07-23-09 11:34 AMLike 0

Peace07-23-09 12:47 PMLike 0 - It seems like the app hasn't been updated for the Tour. For those who've got it working on there Tours, lucky are you all. It works perfectly fine on my 8350i, but no such luck on any Tour I've tested it on. I even went over to the Sprint store earlier today and just got back from it about 15 minutes ago. They had a tester phone on display and no such luck. It showed 600 meters off. I guess google needs to update this app for the Tour; for all of us.07-23-09 12:53 PMLike 0

It's already been stated previously that there needs to be a updated Gmaps version released by google for this to work on Sprint. No settings changes are going to fix this for anyone.07-23-09 12:55 PMLike 0
