If you do a bit of reading you will see that in order to do GPS on a xv6800 you will have to unlock the device, flash a custom ROM and upgrade to a Sprint radio that will allow GPS as the VZW radio does not to it.

You need to start HERE and read.

I'm in the same boat right now because the device I received came from VZW directly and had the MR1 already on it. I was under the impression that no matter what...after MR1 was on the device, no custom rom could free the shackles of the GPS...
