its not a big deal but it annoys the heck out of me. when i do a search from the today screen from the maps application and it gives me a list of the closes gas station's, starbucks, etc it doesnt list them from the nearest one to me to the furthest one. any one know why? im not positive but i think it listed them from the nearest to the furthest on my touch. any one know how to fix this?

i dont know how to change the default location setting but it should know since it use GPS to get my location. at least i wouldnt think i would have to change it. how would i change the default?

the maps program seems almost like a google search. i searched pasta and it gave me the to one 14 miles away, then went 4, 2, 8 miles very random

yes this is exactly what im talking about. it gives you random miles in no specific order and its very tedious

There was an earlier forum that discussed this. It is a problem with either maps or sprint and everyone is guessing their will be an update to fix this.

mine is working fine. make sure your location is set right in Windows Live Search. it gives me the locations closest to me everytime i search.

You want to know what is really annoying? When people don't put the subject of the thread in the title.
