Question My GPS thinks im in the Atlantic???

i use bing maps for my navigation bcuz google maps didnt come with my ROM and it wont work with it. getting directions is fine bcuz it doesnt need to know exactly where i am. but if i hit "track me using gps" it tells me im in the atlantic ocean and doesnt correct itself. im nowhere near the ocean. wwhat gives?

That's Bing for ya.

Why don't you think Google Maps works for you? What is it doing (or not doing)?

i try to download it, and it says my version is not supported. doesnt say what it means by "version". i dont know y it wont download, as my ROM is very close to the official 6.5 from microsoft.

Did you download Google Maps, or did you try to download the new Google Maps Navigation (or whatever it's called) that's specifically for Android?

Try this from your computer: http://www.google.com/mobile/products/maps.html#p=winmo

Or this from your phone: m.google.com/maps

If it puts you in the Atlantic that means it's not getting a GPS lock and it puts you at location 0,0 (somewhere off the west coast of Africa).
