Default Google maps gps issue?

Please Login to Remove!

I have a 8830 through Telus in Canada and the gps works awesome using blackberry maps. Unfortunately I like the functions available in google maps and the map detail much better, unfortunately whenever I start it up and press "0" to find my current locations it shows it but then never updates it again. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

Thanks

Google Maps sometimes doesn't update as much as I'd like it to. Try Yahoo! Go. The map widget updates very well.

i'll second that. Y! GO is much more reliable for me.

Nothing is stopping you from installing them. They just won't work with the GPS on VZW.

I just tried and Yahoo GO! does not have a version for the 8830 yet and it auto detects my phone upon the sms message for the OTA download.
