My carrier is Verizon for the 8330, is this maybe their design they blocked it? I swear I thought back in last December it worked and now it doesn't.

I have never gotten GPS to work with Google Maps on our 8330s. 2. The GPS in our 8330s works fine with the default Blackberry Maps app. Sam Womble wrote: I had a curve back in December and the GPS worked fine with Google maps with the gps. But after getting a new curve, RIP, now it does not lock a signal on google or bb maps. I called Verizon to see what happened and they told me that Verizon gps for 8330 never worked, which was wrong. So does the gps for the curve still works or is it just this phone. I have had several users the same way. � From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jeff Peters Sent: Thursday, November 12, 2009 10:41 AM To: A list for BES Admin's to discuss issues, etc. Subject: Re: [Bes-admins] Google Mobile App � You may want to try that again � VZW dropped the GPS lock a while back.
