- My nav-mode on the GPS stopped working a few weeks ago and I have not been able to revive it.
On navigation from address book to a contact destination, it picks my location and loads the best route with traffic data but as soon as I press Start, it goes into a satellite search mode & returns with No GPS and message to reposition to a spot with clear sky view.
I have rebooted numerous times and security wiped the phone twice to no avail. I also changed to a new sim card too and still not working. I know it's probably not the GPS because it captures my location, it's just isn't entering the navigation mode. Something seems to be blocking it.
Has anyone gone through this problem and found a good solution?
Thank you.

Global Positioning System (GPS)
Week Number Rollover
Starting on November 3, 2019, mobile devices manufactured between 2006 – 2016 may have their GPS accuracy impacted due to Global Positioning Service (GPS) Rollover. For additional details see: Department Homeland Security (DHS)
GPS accuracy may impact the performance of navigation applications used on these devices. See list of impacted devices below.
Apple iOS device users should ensure they are on the latest software version to avoid performance degradation and minimize navigation impacts.
For additional information please click on the links below:
APPLE | SAMSUNG | GOOGLE | Other Devices
Please consider upgrading to a newer device by logging in to My Verizon, or visit the Verizon Community where you can post your question to find answers.
Business and Government customers can upgrade to a newer device by logging in to My Business or by contacting your Verizon Account Representative.
iOS customers may be able to update their software by checking with the manufacturer.11-12-19 08:05 PMLike 0 -

I hope the development team will issue a patch, this affects a lot of machines in the ever shrinking blackberry ecosystem.
I can't imagine that to be a big task re-adjusting week numbers.
Appreciate your post.

Looking and hoping for an immediate update for this GPS fix. I think this nukes the entire generation of devices; I've not tested each one yet but I'm guessing all of the Curve, Bold, Z10 series are now useless. No one would want anything without functional GPS.

Can wait and see if @TrumpetTiger or someone has a fix. Or try a clean install with the latest Autoloader....11-13-19 10:20 AMLike 0 - I don't know... last April was when the scheduled Rollover took place, with some adjustment on Nov 3. It's only Verizon Wireless that seems to be worried about pre 2016 devices. It's been a week .....

I just don't see others with the same issue right now, so for now I would say it's your device - hardware, software or settings. Clean install of the latest OS will help rule out some things.
Hopefully we will get comments from others still using BB10.... "theirs is working fine" or "hey mine isn't working right either".11-13-19 10:46 AMLike 0 - Just tried out my spare Z10 and GPS is working fine on Maps.
Z10 is running on 10.3.3.3216 and test was done on wi-fi only without a sim card so maybe not relevant to this thread??11-13-19 11:06 AMLike 0 -
- Update for BB10 ending back in 2018... I wouldn't expect any additional patches.

Posted via CB1011-13-19 11:12 AMLike 0 - Yeah my WiFi only Z10 on 10.3.3.3216 is working fine as well... got direction to several location (didn't actually go to them).
And it does show much location pretty close.11-13-19 11:46 AMLike 0 -
Maybe try using a different app?

Yes, native map.
It is very disruptive to work flow and safety. I have to figure a solution somehow.

It's been a week and I don't see a bunch of people complaining about GPS here... not that I think there are many BB10 users or of those many that use the GPS much. Need to see if others have the same issue...

Anyway, I like Dunts suggestion to run an autoloader, as that'll rule out the software perspective.
Posted via CB1011-13-19 12:31 PMLike 0 - Yes, I own a Garmin device and it works well. However, I find the BB navigation logic superior, it's a better map device. Period. Not only does it steer me around traffic jams, the routing is more direct and it calls the exits accurately, by street name on the exit signs; IOS and Android logic sometimes identify exits by number, which isn't always painted in the exit signs. This is a problem at freeway speeds on forked exits.
