Being a prick is highly frowned upon in here, and you my friend are just that, a prick.

Anyways, I said that he was obviously out of satelite view due to the fact that he wasnt getting a lock. Thats why I said that. Did you read my last post? Something is wrong with his setup Obviously because he does not need a cellular connection to obtain a lock or to navigate (with TomTOm...Garmin, or other programs with preloaded maps. The only thing that makes sense is that he might be trying to use GoogleMaps, or Live Search for Navigation, and those two require a data (cellular in this case) to download the maps. So if thats what he is trying to do then he would just get a blank screen. Even though the phone is recieving a GPS signal it cant be interpreted in the form of a map location because it cannot download one without a cellular conection. Thats what I can make of it anyways. Hope that helps.

This guy always insults anybody if they disagree with him. He is comstantly breaking the rules. I hope admins are keeping an eye on this abusive member.
