I was just referring to Sturart riding your arse, was just trying some humor and obviously did not come off as intended.

The suspense is killing me... will it work on VZW devices, won't it?! Tune in next week to find out (or 5 minutes from now)!

I have a 9530 on the VZW network with neither BB Map nor VZ Navigator installed. Telenav (a competitor to VZ Navigator) can access my 9530xxx8217;s internal GPS.

I need to write some of these posters a prescription for some Xanax before they start posting.

I guess I need to prove GPS is working in Google Maps.
Here, the shot of me in the back of our office building. The second is a screen cap of when I have walked about 50 feet to the front across the street. Each time within 7 meters.

It would be more accurate if you stopped in the middle of the street. |

Oh, all that yucky vinegary-doused precious pork! That's not good southern BBQ, that's NC-style BBQ! Two different things, right?
You go to North Carolina with Google Maps and GPS and search for "good southern BBQ" and it'll point you straight to Alabama  |

Western North Carolina has the good stuff. Seems to be east of Raleigh (especially in the Rocky Mount, Wilson, Greenville area) is where you get the bitter stuff.

GPS on all Verizon devices is still locked for mapping purposes to BBMaps and VZNav.

Not so... I use Telenav with the internal GPS... accurate to 3 meters. |

Great news, now could you help all those other Verizon users for which GPS is not enabled outside of BBMaps? That's what we're here for... |

So GPS does work on Google Maps 3.01? This is correct right?

I will agree with that to a point, I love them both. I just like anything spicy and doused in BBQ sauce and I am happy. Thought about moving the family back to somewhere down south, but came to my senses when I realized the weather SUCKS. I have been in Phoenix for 15 years and yeah the summers bite but "it's a dry heat" so not too bad, went to Mississippi to visit my grandmother last summer and thought I was going to die from the humidity. You guys got the food, we got the weather, it was 82 an sunny today....
