GPS for nTelos

I need some help with getting my GPS on my Blackberry Tour working

When I launch the GPS app on my Blackberry Tour, it always says Acquiring Satellites!

How do I fix this !

Are you indoors or outdoors? and which application are you using?

Both.
I am using the application that came with my Blackberry Tour that is called Maps.

Make sure the GPS is turned on by going to options -> advanced options -> GPS and make sure GPS Service is set to Location ON. If it is on then I have no idea why it won't aquire a signal. Mine aquires one rather quickly, within 10-15 seconds if i'm outdoors.

I've heard the GPS app doesn't work on nTelos network.

What network (Carrier) are you on?

Oh, that may be the case. I'm using Sprint

And your GPS works?


Hmm, I'm probably going to have to call Tech Support tomorrow...and see about this issue

It just takes some time to acquire satellites
