Anyway - all day long I've been playing with the new features, discovering new stuff and figuring out what doesn't work the same anymore. All in all I'm pleased with the new OS - really top notch!
This evening while in the car as a passenger (I'm usually the driver) I decided to check out BlackBerry maps. Very cool. But I didn't have to go to the menu and enable the GPS - it just started working. I was pleasantly surprised. Then, just for fun, I loaded up Google Maps. GPS worked!! It was pin-pointing our location to within 3 meters and following the car along it's route! Does this mean that Verizon had finally released it's death-grip on the GPS for the BlackBerry? Is it just for OS 6? Is it a mistake - did they forget to close a loop-hole?
Can anybody else whose recently updated confirm this behavior?
