**Update**
This Works.....The snow finally stopped falling and I ventured out side and got it to work. Sent A few times with no errors.
What we need is a way to enable GPS full time and this app would rock.
Heres the scoop. As of right now the GPS on the 6800 is only active if connected with googlemaps/livesearch or a app such as the one Babs has some place here on the Geeks.
So I launched Google maps and got a active connection with 5 satellites(keep this running).
I went into my messages and sent sent myself the word GPS (key word). Code word is case sensitive. Meaning if your code word is GPS then gps would not work
20 seconds later I received the message and didn't even check it the next thing I knew the Vito Findme today plugin started to do something. The little gray sat icon turned green and then a sent message read across the plugin...
No crap a few seconds later I received a text from myself and it read like this........(Sub Note "Stalkers and Axe murders need not look bellow")

HaHa ....
If you cant get Google maps or livesearch to connect then its a problem with your ppc. It takes a while sometimes you might need to go outside. Ill put it in steps.......

#1 Open Google maps, click "Menu",then "use GPS"...
#2 Make sure in the Blue bar across the top of Google maps you see"GPS active(#)".....Keep this running just hit ok DON'T hit the x and close it....
#3 Go into your messages and send a text to yourself with the default code word (GPS) and send. Code word is case sensitive. Meaning if your code word is upper case GPS then lower case gps would not work..
#4 Thats it. Close it out and wait a few seconds and when you receive the text you sent yourself you will see the plugin turn green and it will do its thing,and a few seconds later you'll get your GPS position in a new txt.
#5 go back and close Google maps if you want I leave it run. The GPS still works even without a active internet connection I shut down my data connection and leave Google maps run for the GPS....Here is what the Txt looks like....(Sub Note "Stalkers and Axe murders need not look bellow")
