Bold 9650 on Verizon, Places now works fine. Did not work for several days, tried everything, finally updated my PRL on Saturday and low and behold, Places starting working! Go figure.
I've read on several sites, that Verizon disables access to GPS functionality, so that they can force subscribers to use their own pay-for GPS services. Yet another reason I'll do without a phone before I use Verizon.

While they used to do that, they stopped doing it on new models beginning several years ago (the original Storm was the first, i believe). Verizon does not lock down the GPS on any BlackBerry (or Android) you get from them today.
ok, so another thread suggested updating PRL (calling *228 and choosing option 2) -- after roaming capabilities were updated, FB places worked no problem
