does the 9700 have gps? i dont see it on the specs or any setting on my phone. i've seen people on forums discussing it though.

[Phill_UK]

Yes, it does

[mrbasser]

Yes, the 9700 has GPS. Go to Options> Advanced Options> GPS> GPS Services and toggle setting to Location ON. Now go to BB Maps, open it, hit BB Menu button and select Start GPS Navigation.

NOTE: Start GPS Navigation is ONLY available in this menu IF your GPS Location is ON!

so the gps only works w/ bb maps? will it work w/ google maps or google search?

LOL @ you...

[raf1919]

and i'm deeply offended at your "LOL"

[Spiffing]

I'm deeply offended by almost everything.

GPS chips must be improving, I'm amazed how well it works in my 9700, and I infinitely prefer Google to BB maps. You American chappies get Google turn-by-turn free, is that right? Fantastic.

Dagnammit. I guess Google are in a good position to give their own o/s some extra muscle.
