Re: will gps work without sprint service

Does anyone know about getting a GPS lock with a Bell HTC Touch?
I have the phone with Bell 3.09.666.1 ROM, 2.03_007 PRI, and 3.42.50 radio. I'm trying to develop a WM program in C# that uses GPS, using Microsoft.WindowsMobile.Samples.Location wrapper, so I've figured out that the phone has a QualComm GpsOne Card, version 0.0. I've tried out the WMMiniGPS, but it can't seem to get a lock. Any ideas??

Update: Okay, nevermind it works afterall! It's just difficult to find an area open enough, without a lot of buildings around (I'm in downtown Toronto). I found that I could get about 5 satellites on average and that my location was accurate to the tens of meters, but altitude and speed data weren't at all accurate. It took about 1-2 min. to establish a lock, no data service required.
