Update on Google Maps "My Location" (using Verizon) - Turn on WIFI
Just updated to 23545, and due to the piss poor reception in my office, I had to connect via WIFI to sync exchange. Well, I usually am very good at turning off my WIFI when I'm not using it, but forgot today. And when I was on my way home, I turned on Google Maps to check traffic.... AND MY LOCATION worked. After turning Google maps off and on a few times it kept on working. I then rebooted the phone... And it stopped working. So I got to thinking what changed... and I had remembered I left WIFI on.
Long story short - Turning on the phones WIFI fixes google maps "My Location". You do not need to be connected to a wireless network... Just need to turn on WIFI.
Tested it many times on my way home from work today. I did notice that sometimes "My Location" would not work even with WIFI turned on. In those cases a simple restart of google maps fixed it.
Any thoughts anyone?
