Re: Verizon GPS not working anymore
Another update on my experience. After a soft reset and getting home I have been unable to get a lock. It worked on my office roof on the 25th floor in Brooklyn but I'm unable to get a lock at my apartment in Manhattan. I tried on the 10th floor roof deck (surrounded by much taller buildings) with no luck. If I need that much clear sky this will never be reliable. I tried Google Maps and Live Search. I've seen people use some kind of GPS viewer to prime the GPS before and wondered if this might help. I don't know what a good app to prime is though. Any suggestions? Does the HTC GPS tool work for this? I have a feeling this might be the final straw after almost 10 years with Verizon. It shouldn't be this hard just to have basic funtionality from my PPC. Funny thing is I am an RF Engineer who has done a lot of work with VZW over the years. Kind of wish I had been involved with AGPS and E911 instead of EVDO so I really knew what was at work here.
