Re: Verizon - Official WM 6.1 Update

The Valhalla did the trick. It will now find my location on Google maps, and I can search for gas stations, restaurants, etc... within my location.

However, I can't get location to work on Live search. I love live search with its voice search capability. I was hoping it would find my location as well rather than having to input the city I am in all the time.

Anyhow, I was really close to getting the storm since the Touch Pro is pricy. Though I admit the Touch Pro is probably the best smart phone Verizon has, I fell back in love with the Touch.

I just installed the Throttle Launcher 9.5 and found that it is more stable on WM6.1. It works pretty good.

For those who are scared to upgrade, I would tell them this is the way to go if you have Verizon.
Congrats on your upgrade and thanks for the confirmation that Google works. Do you have the Valhalla cab handy? I have the manual install and would like to try the cab.
