I have been attemping to find a tracking device that would work on my 8330 but through some research I have found that Verizon blocks the internal GPS from 3rd party use inorder to make people pay for the VZNav. I'm not interested in navigation, I just want to be able to track my phone online. I wanted to know if anyone could tell me whether or not I could connect to a program like Instamapper or BBTracker using and external GPS? I have looked at several externals that connect via Bluetooth but I dont want to pay $70 for one only to find that its not what I need. Has anyone done this? Heard of anyone who has? Suggestions?
From what I understand, there are "external" GPS devices that will connect to a BB via bluetooth (you won't be able to use any other BT device while this is connected mind you) and by pass the block that VZN has bestowed upon it's users. I'd do a search on here for something like "Using GPS Puck" or "bypass GPS verizon" or something simliar. Good luck bub!
