Thumbs up Re: 12/25/08 Verizon GPS Fix v2.0

I bought the TP just a few days ago from Verizon. I left the Verizon store with the impression that I could just run Google Maps and a Pocket PC version of Delorme's Street Atlas USA on it.

Only after a couple of days fiddling with the settings did I discover that the GPS was disabled by Verizon.

I got up this morning with the intention of returning to the store and making a big ruckus while returning the phone.

At the last minute I Googled the phone and found this site.

God bless you all and especially Bored. You may have saved a saleperson's life and kept me out of jail.

All I had to do was install the GPS fix v.2 and HTC gps utility and everything thing is flawless. The banner still says Verizon and the EV indicator is still there.

I'm going to reinstall Street Atlas USA and start a thread on how well this works with the Delorme GIS products I've been using for years with my old IPAQ and gps card.

Thanks again (yes , I clicked the button)
Looking forward to v3 with aGPS.
