    hey all.

    i think my GPS is messed up. i have location on, assist on. yet google maps, bb maps, and amAzeGPS cant lock on to the GPS. i thought that the Tour GPS is supposed to be unlocked, even on vz.

    any idea what i can do (other than replace?)

    bump.
    ran diagnostic today, outdoors, and the diagnostic timed out. what do i do at this point? im worried that if i return it, i might get one with other issues.

    mconk is right. this issue is already being covered in many threads (look in GPS & mapping forum).

    it appears there are GPS issues with the tour. unclear, is where the problem lies. i'm able to lock on to 8 sats w/i 8 seconds with BB maps and poynt shows my location accurately w/i a few meters. however, google maps cannot lock on to any sats and live/bing maps is only accurately w/i about 1/4 mile. i've tested this both indoors (by a window) and outdoors.
