Thanks for your advise. It seems a good news for me, but I don't know how to upgrade. Would you please provide me some more details?

I would be happy to. But first I need some information from you. Like, what carrier are you on? Did you buy this device from this carrier? And can you post your device information found at: Start\Settings\System\Device Information

Dear Tinkerbell, I really thanks for your prompt reply and kindness. Howerver, I note from other posts of this PPCgeeks forum, some friends had encountered issues on their phones after upgrading the GPS radio. Also, they had faced a lot of troubles as they wanted to downgrade it back. Since I'm a novice, I think it's better stick to whatever it is instead of taking any risk. Thanks a lot again.

Yeh, that's true. Always drive safe can make the life longer. I'm still looking for a safer route some sort like a plugin program to the Googlemaps. I know QuickGPS is using a similiar concept of obtaining GPS informations from the carrier's stations, so I think some genius friends might have further developed the program to fix Mylocations independently without using GPS also. Am I having a day dream?

Humm... I have not heard of such a breakthrough. That would be really sweet though. There are a lot of Apache owners that would be thrilled!! If you stumble upon such a program, let us know!!

Sure, I'll be glad to share my joy if I got it.
