As soon as I turned I turned Google Maps off it couldn't find me anymore.

I have tried all the tricks to make it work including the obvious "turn on my location".

If anyone have a solution that works please let me know. I have heard that if you use the Alltel Nav program then the GPS picks up very well, so there must be something there.
I feel your pain Gators...I too have an Alltel Touch Pro and live in Bradenton with no luck on recieving a lock. I can get a lock in Venice sometimes but anytime Im north of Tampa it locks instantly. I've updated PRL and run quick gps often...Its just that area of florida that doesnt work for me. Didn't work with my ppc 6800 either.
