Location Feature not available (Google Maps) - Page 2

I can confirm that the Location based weather and Google Maps location does not work in the Cleveland area. Obviously with GPS enabled Google Maps works fine, but the weather still does not. I have a colleague that said his Imagio's location based weather works fine in the Akron area, but does not work when he is in Cleveland.

I was looking at FieldTrial and after opening Google Maps, location data does show up with GPS disabled.

Do you suppose this a problem with Verizon in the Cleveland area, or is this a problem with Google not having the information needed about the cell-towers in the Cleveland area to triangulate the position?

Edit: I was mistaken. It shows some info about the Space Vehicles (SV's) that it could see before I turned off GPS, but no Cell tower info. Can someone confirm that their Imagio shows Cell tower info in the GPS section of FieldTrial (pilot phase and pilot strength)

I am back in NY area. As soon as I landed my weather google maps are working fine.

Hmm seems like some issue with certain towers not giving out the Location info or some such. Curious.

Ya, I tried with the Quick GPS data expired, and a fresh download. Doesn't seem to make a difference. I made sure location services is enabled under the location tab in Manilla and under phone in the control panel. Kiran_tp, can you confirm that the cell tower info show up under GPS in FieldTrial, or is that a feature of FieldTrial that doesn't work on the Imagio? (dial ##DEBUG and hit send)

mine works ok with / without gps enabled.
gps is alittle more accurate placing me tho. when i disable it & start the program it puts me in the neiboors front yard about 400yds away. as soon as i enable it and it finds the sats it gets within about 50 feet.
