    The GPS works on the 8130 with OS 4.5 from VZW. It only works with BB Maps...it's not completely open to other applications.

    Whats strange is that amAze GPS has a version of their free gps software specifically for Verizon 8130 which they claim "fixes the GPS Problem". I'm not sure what they fixed since the 8130 GPS only works with VZNav and BB maps?

    ok, well that was the way it was on the storm for a little bit, then a new version of google maps was released and used the gps.. so maybe eventually..
    thanks for the responses though.

    I have no problem using google maps and my GPS together on my pearl! I have Verizon and before they unlocked the GPS it would put me about 10 to 15 miles away from my house now it puts me within a mile of my house.
