Testing my GPS

Is there some app that will test my Sprint Touch Pro GPS hardware to help me to know that it is working?

If I use Sprint Navigation, it tells me that my GPS signal is weak and to move to an open area. I can understand this, but I have other GPS devices that detect satellites just fine.

Are there any apps that I can use to verify that my GPS hardware is functioning correctly?

How do I configure my GPS? Do I need to set up a COM port or any other hardware settings?

Thanks,

Chris

have you tried live search or google maps?

Thanks for the response. I hadn't tried them. But I found a program called GPS tester that allowed me to test the GPS, so this issue is resolved for me.

Thanks
