Hi George!
I've decided to send the Pre Plus back - not enough benefit over my Pre on Sprint, and considerable additional cost. Thanks for the suggestion! With Sprint, Google Maps and the device's GPS settings are all ready to go, and I get Sprint Navigation for no additional cost, too!

Don, have you gotten your Google Maps to work? If not, some things to try/check: Under Locations Services: - Be sure Auto Locate is on. Under Location Services > Preferences > Locate Me Using: - Be sure GPS is on. - If you also have Use Google Services turned on, the autolocation is not very accurate and will only find you within a 1 mile radius. Turning that option off allowed Google Maps to find my location precisely. I discovered this because my PrePlus autolocation was spot on, but my son's was a big approximate radius. Comparing the two settings I realized he had "Use Google Services" set to On, whereas mine was Off. Turning his off fixed the problem.
