Re: UPDATED: Verizon GPS Fix.....Phase I

Oh, yeah! That makes sense! (Sorry, guys)...but, it still isn't working. Am I not getting the settings right in the GPS Tool software. I'm a little unclear of exactly what I should be doing and in what steps. Sorry I have to have such detailed directions. I really am techno inclined. I just can't seem to get this gps thing turned on. I appreciate all your help!

Re: UPDATED: Verizon GPS Fix.....Phase I

SWEET!!! I finally got it to work! After turning on my location in the phone settings I decided to retry running the .cab fix and rerunning the PPST file. I went back into GPS Tool, set the settings and opened the port then voila!!! Found 6 satellites! Then I ran Google maps and IT FOUND EM! YEA! Thank you so much to all involved with my enabling GPS on my phone! It makes my $300 just that much more worth it. Some donations are definately deserved!

It's all good. It's working. I never did get any prompts of any sort form running PPST but it is working.

Why does my phone say sprint in the top right of the upper curtain?
