Also, make sure you've paired the puck.

I keep reading about this "gps menu" choice but I've never seen it show up on my Verizon 8830. I just fired the Freedom puck up, fired up Google and NO such menu item. And I read other folks canNOT find it either. In some thread or another there was some speculation that there are different versions of the Google Map software that are offered up depending on either device or carrier.
But then, when firing it up, Google refused to actually find my current location, finding the location where I turned off the gps yesterday, about 2 miles from my home. It just stayed there. About 5 MY LOCATION did not fix it. It was only after I opened BBMaps (which initially showed that same wrong location) and asked it for my current location, that it moved me home. Then Google maps found me correctly too. And, NO, it said it was 3 meters so it was NOT using cell tower locations to find me. It just thought I was elsewhere.
So, I guess some of this still is still in TEST mode!!!!
