This thread should be closed. Some people are so clueless.
(Ignore this) 
NO VZ Navigator is needed to get gps to work.
It was said in first 2nd and 3rd post of this thread:
Turn location on.
How to: - press the talk button (if don't know that talk button is return the phone
)
- When the dialer appears press the "Menu" soft key
- When the menu appears press the "Options..."
- Press the "CMDA Services" tab
- Select "Location Setting" in list box
- Press the "Get Settings..." button.
- Select "LOCATION ON" and then select "OK" in the upper right corner.
- A warning screen appears then press "Ok".
- Run Quick GPS (makes a difference with how fast the GPS picks up your location)
- reset the phone.
- Bing, Google Maps or any GPS aware application will now be able to use the GPS.
- If GPS still does not work. Just return or sell the phone and get yourself a non smartphone... You know, one that is as dumb as you are.
- Ignore 12. That's just for me being me.
I have been through two Imagios. And that's exactly what I did. I get GPS locks in 5-10 seconds on a cloudly rainy day from inside the basement.
EDIT: If your gps does not after following the steps above you should probably take it to verizon shop to have them look @ it.
