Can you check your GPS if you are having the same problem, thanks.

I received this question, since i was unable to answer it i decided it would be best to post it here so CBR can get more feedback .. hope this helps.

CBR: I have used OS 4.2 / 4.5.0.10 and .18 and i never had problems with BBmaps - it always communicated fine with the internal GPS (also 8310 like you) and was very accurate and relatively fast. Since your GPS is working and Gmaps can also acquire sats I would recommend that you first uninstall BBmaps from your device, then reboot and then reinstall it from:

http://www.blackberry.com/devicesoft...y.do?code=maps

from your cell's browser.

Finally, i believe that BBmaps comes as part of the 4.5.0.10 that you downloaded and installed. Could that installation file have a problem?
Is all else fails .. just try to download another copy of that OS and reinstall it. Then wipe and install again ..

That's all i can think off right now.

there is always downgrading your OS to an approved official release and seeing if that works

true that .. but i never had any problems with BBmaps (same phone and same carrier as CBR) and ANY OS for that matter .. weird ?!

(and from what he is saying it is not the gps .. so it must be the software)

same phone on the same carrier? Tmobile supports BBmaps, AT&T doesnt
