Same issue for me. GPS just went silent. I've always been able to use the GPS even without cell service. I hope Verizon hasn't disabled this feature. If they have, How about a class action lawsuit to swing their opinion of free gps enable cellphones?

I have found in other forums that this is quite widespread for the last two days.
I'm picking up some faint chatter that the GPS goes through a server (at Verizon?) and that is now being blocked or down and not working.
It's called aGPS. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPS_Phone

I'm hoping to find more details as more people realize it's not their phone.

MSD
aGPS works through Verizon's server using triangulation with the cell towers, but true GPS is based on the satellites in space. Phones with a GPS chip can get a lock (albeit sometimes slowly) using GPS only, using both aGPS and GPS phones can lock in seconds.

It seems the server is inoperable or VZW is changing things up. Hopefully the previous is the case. They suck.

If you are using MR1 with Valhalla, this thread will get your GPS going, even without the data plan:

Instructions:
  1. Install GC VZW MR1 GPSUninstall.cab.
  2. Navigate to Start -> Settings, and click on Remove Programs in the System tab.
  3. Select Valhalla Legends GPSServer and click Remove.
  4. Soft reset the device.
Here's the xda-developer's wiki that it originally came from. It's at the bottom of the page.

Can you please reattach the cab or put it some where I can download?

Thanks,
Kizer

The links on xda don't work anymore; here's the files I downloaded a few months ago.

interesting, another thread thought it was locked out by vzw, a move that is typical of them. maybe your reinstall overrode anything vzw did to lock it out.
