Any help welcome thanks!
Frustrating - part of the reason I went for the 8820 was the GPS function but so far can't use it!
Thanks

PS what about BlackBerry Maps? Can't get them either!

dazzlingboy, there is a way to get Blackberry Maps working on an 8820 from Orange UK. See
http://www.blackberryforums.com/gps-...lackberry.html
I followed the instructions there and was able to get it working.
Why does Orange UK disable Blackberry Maps? I think I found out why. If you go to the browser on the BB and look at the bookmarks you should find under WAP bookmarks something call 'GPS Navigation'. It allows you to install something called 'Orange Sat Nav' by webraska. `It costs £95 (180US) for three years of use and does maps and navigation. The £95 does not include GPRS charges of course- its just extra money Orange feels you as a customer should pay for the privilege of GPS navigation!
