Is there a way to find out my lat & long coordinates on my BB 8130? I have Blackberry Maps, Google Maps, and Sprint Navigation on there, but so far I've had no luck of finding an option to get my lat & long position...
Sure, BlackStar will do that for you (and more). And it is free.
Check out the links in my signature, or download from BlackBerry App World.
How many satellites does this thing have to search for? I'm going on 1700 now. and does it take this long everytime I start it up or is it a one time deal?

I have been hearing rumblings that Alltell has been locking their internal GPS fpr third party apps the same way Verizon does. There is a thread here discussing it: http://forums.crackberry.com/f72/all...roblem-260611/
However, you can also check out our wiki at: BlackStar Wiki
The wiki has some helpful instructions on getting a GPS lock.

In BB Maps you can press Menu then Send Location (and email it to your self) or Copy Location and paste it into an email to see the Lat and Long. Its actualy a web address that you can click on but if you read the url it says your lat and long looks like this
http: //maps.BlackBerry.com?lat=50.21831&lon=-138.64545&z=2
