My GPS Stopped working today - Verizon 6800

I've been using the internal gps on my VX6800 for months now and all of a sudden today, the phone can't get a fix on satellites. I'm using GPS Gate and the icon on the lower right of the screen starts at red, goes to yellow and either stays at yellow or goes back and forth between yellow and red. Did Verizon do something. I see another user on pdaphonehome has had the same situation happen today. Anyone have any info ? I'm in New Haven, CT.

I just checked and the gps is working again. Verizon might have been fiddling around.
