I can't seem to get the GPS function of my 8800 working for the life of me.
I have gone into Settings->Options->Advanced Options->GPS and the information is all set to 0degrees for all location and connects to 0 Satellites. When I do a refresh GPS the device Scans for Satellites and never comes up with information. I have tried this both indoors as well as outdoors. I am located in Manhattan so I would assume this should pick up something. Any ideas?

For some further info, I had installed the .alx files from jiibi's post and followed his instructions and now have blackberry maps. The GPS was not working prior to this with Cingular's preloaded handheld OS.

I received my Blackberry on Tuesday night at the launch event.
