Question Trouble with GPS on Touch Pro 2

I downloaded Google maps and for some reason I cant get a lock on my position. When I press, "Use GPS", it never finds my location, but when I press the little blue dot on the touch screen, it says, "Your position within 2600 meters". ??My Touch Pro would normally say, "Your position within 20 meters". Is the GPS not working or something?

Re: Trouble with GPS on Touch Pro 2

I had a problem with both Google Maps and Garmin for a while after I flashed, but after a few hard resets I'm running GPS pretty well...

Make sure that Location setting is ON.... it's under the Phone Options, CDMA, Location Setting
