follow up question:

i've installed the google maps application on my bold.

but two things:

1) when i go Options>Advanced Options>GPS, my Lat and Long and so forth are register 0

2) in Google Maps, when i click on 'my location' it basically tells me there's an error and tries to read my GPS location but to no avail.

is there anything I should be doing to enable the internal GPS system?
thanks

Google maps is pretty good for directions and GPS, to see where all your friends are at check out gps-snitch.com/blip its pretty awesome too

At the options page where the gps is at.. You have to enable the gps for it to work. There should be a feature on that page where you can enable/disable it.
Make sure you are outside when doing this. It doesn't pick up satelites in the house too well but picks it up clear in a car. Even with gps disabled it should triangulate ur location with cell towers in the vicinity. Well it does that for me when I have Gps disabled but its accurate up to 1000 meters or less while wit gps enabled it can be as accurate as 1meter.
