    Sometimes mine is slow to lock on in BBM or GMM. Sometimes it snaps right in.

    There's a thread in the 3rd party apps subforum I think on how to unlock assisted gps for all programs on the Storm. But it involves tinkering with the phone.

    If you wanna test the GPS, try the free trial of VZ Navigator if you haven't used it already. Since its an AGPS program, it'll snap in quickly. And if it doesn't get a lock, you have VZ developed software as proof of it not working

    For first time yesterday noticed that my GPS wasn't working. Was inside, so tried it outside - still nothing.

    Did a battery pull and everything returned to normal.

    why does this keep coming up....will people understand

    1. GPS is NOT locked on the Storm
    2. You don't need VZNav to use the GPS on the Storm

    I have 7 GPS apps running on my Storm and there is no way i would pay 9.99 for VZNav (Nav4All and Garmin do a great job)

    Sorry I know this has been covered a 1000 times but apparently not everyone has heard

    Blackberry Maps gives turn-by-turn. Launch it, click "Start GPS Navigation" icon, then click "Get Directions" icon, enter starting and ending addresses (type them in, use "Where I am", or enter from Contacts) and you can then select shortest distance or shortest time route.
