Hmmm my BBMaps GPS just stopped working. I used to have the "Dashboard" that showed me how many sats I was connected to even if the answer was 0. But now the Dash is gone and I just have the little message that says Space=hide dash or something to that effect.
I had it working and I havent updated anything since i had it working before. Did VZW relock the GPS feature?
Location is on and it was updated to the proper OS system.
Location is on
OS 4.5.0.77
Do i have to reinstall? I dotn want to reinstall. I hate reinstalling
Nope, they didn't re-lock it. I haven't even opened BB Maps since my last OS upgrade, and it went from fully zoomed out to my house in less than 10 seconds.
press space again to pull up the dashboard with the sat connections then hit menu and start gps navigation and it should work...i cant see why it wouldnt if you have a direct line to a satellite
Same thing happened to me. I was trying to use it yesterday and it said searching for satellites for 2 hours. I finally cancelled and exited. I wonder if it has to do with the satellites that collided last week. Everyone in my area lost verizon service for 3 hours last thursday in central PA after the satellites blew up. I would think that cell service has nothing to do with satellites, but that was verizon's answer to the loss of service, but it would explain a lack of gps.
I am still relatively new to the BB world but I though verizon locked all GPS on their black berries in order to make one pay for their gps service.
edit sorry for the thread jack.
