When I load Google Maps, and select Use GPS, it starts searching and actually shows a blue dot on the map CLOSE to where I am, but not EXACT. I'll say within 5-10 miles.

The thing is, it never finds or locks any sats. It says seeking sats (0), and every so often it will say active (0), and yet like I said, it is still able to find a location near me.

What's the deal and what can I do?
I've had np problems with the GPS on my SPRINT Touch. Locks within seconds. Have you run PPST.exe? if not look in your windows dir for it. Do you have GPS View? It sometimes locks on faster then other programs, DO NOT Close it before going to your GPS program leave running in background. As far as Google Maps goes go into OPTIONS>GPS SETTINGS> select MANUEL and set to COM 4 and 4800.. GOOD LUCK
