    Hello Friends.

    I have a Curve 8310. I borrowed from my friend.

    But when i start the application Google Maps. System says me that :"Your location is temporarily unavailable"

    Ana I click Options>>Advanced>>GPS

    I click the Blackberry Button and Click Refres GPS.

    After 1-2 minuts later, no changes in the positions

    I can not understand what is the problem.

    Sincerely

    GPS Information: Timed out while waiting for GPS location



    I tried 3-5 minutes ago. A clear weather.

    It could be that your carrier flashed your GPS to where it won't work without a certain program or service. I'd call them and ask.

    I found a way to fix mine, but it involves accessing the engineering screens

    Thanks for you reply. Maybe you are right. Because this phone from Vodafone and when i borrowed this from my mates, i first remove the IT policy. So i can acces internet browser.

    and than i want to try your second suggestion. Could you send a howto link ?

    Thanks

    EDİT: i accessed the engineering screen via type ALT+CAPSLOCK+H and i see "help me!" screen. Now i see something but what will i do noty ?

    Soryy for my bad english

    LAST EDİT: yes it is working! Thanks you.

    So first i login this engineering screen and from this screen i enter

    Os Engineerin Screens>>GPS>>Start Tracking (Autonomous)

    And then I opened the Google Map and saw my location within 1 meters I saw my coordinates

    Thank you
