I can't get any program to work. Changed all the advanced settings. Still no luck. Took the phone tot he store they couldn't get it to work. They finally call tier 3 support. Apparently some folks are having issue witht he GPS and with the next core release they plan to fix a few issue. we will see.
Ok, after working with tech support for an hour got it working. Of course you have to change the GPS to "location on". Set the GPS app you are using to "allow" instead of default in adv settings. Then pull the battery a couple of times and it starts working. The GPS is unlocked.
Still takes a minute or so to lock a sat. Inside is useless, which others have said they get good lock. Not me.
It worked for me today. 2.0.3 is what I have, and previous versions did not work at all.
MAN IS IT FAST? The first time i booted it up I got a lock in <10 seconds in a suburban area. I don't see how having the aGPS chip unlocked could make it any faster.
And that lady on the program telling me "RED LIGHT ALERT" is really annoying. I don't need to be yelled at 5 times. I got it the second time... jeez
Good program idea though, i will be report some traps on this guy

Battery-wise, NO, because it does not use more power unless a program is actively accessing it, aka the GPS program you are running which obviously you want to do so.
But security wise, YES, it leaves your position available to any program that wants to. A non-reputable program could track your location without your permission, and privacy concerns like that. Thats why its off by default. There are people here who turn it on and off when they need it.
Same here, found me indoors after three seconds. I think it picked up my last know location from BB Maps or something. No way this could locate me via satellite indoors that quickly. Either that or is used aGPS.
This found me as well and I am in a different state than the last time I used BB maps or the GPS itself. My question is, is there an actual GPS program with this? How do we use this program?
Enjoy paying for VZW Navigator while the rest of us lamers use this solution.
I dont pay for VZ Nav, where did I say that smart guy? Because I think using THIS software is lame you feel the need to attack? Keep hiding behind your key board.

Good god dude.
I guess I will hide, because I'm not going to come to the Twin Cities to fight you over stupid comments, that would be considered hiding by some.

Your sensitivity level that you demonstrated towards someone who was unable to produce what you wanted to see, at the time you wanted to see it is pretty silly.
Patience is indeed a virtue when in comes to the world of Blackberry's.

How did you get 2.0.3 I just downloaded from the OTA link and got 2.0.1 a few minutes ago. And it doesn't work for me. Didn't try with BB Maps open though.
How can you tell that trapster is correctly on top of your house? I don't see how you can zoom in far enough to tell ...
you can zoom in or out with the volume rocker keys.
Took me a while to figure this out too. I was pressing all over the screen for a good 5 min before I found this out
