Thank you. Did that and got 5 satellites indoors. That must be why when I downloaded Google Mobile, my location was to within 5 metres! On my 8320, it put me in the sea just off the Isle of Wight!! Bit scary!
Thank you again, love this Bold!
Regards
Doug

Hi!
you are welcome!
I have just been for a drive as a passenger and could try, Vodafone Sat Nav, Maps and Google Maps.
Vodafone's GPS refreshed the maps nicely and gave good instructions for my journey.
Google Maps updated very slowly and I could not see where I was in reality. We were only driving at 30 mph ! Google Maps has placed me in the River Humber in the past!
I could not use Maps very well at all and could not find the settings to refresh the map as we were driving. Must be there somewhere in the menu's but I could not find it.
@dougproctor Could you sort out the lack of maps on your Orange Bold? I guess Orange just want you to pay for their offering.

I managed to work around Orange blocking maps, but this work around is no longer necessary as Orange no longer block maps or WLM, Doug you will simply need to download the BlackBerry® maps app to the Bold!

Hi mates. Have Google Mobile maps as heard that BB maps not so good and yes, GPS is there. I was expecting it to be under Manage Connections or something, rather than Options, Advanced Options.
Really love this phone though.

BB Maps is quite good - for the average user, usually picking the quickest route to your destination. Good thing is its integrated into platform (J2ME, CLDC based OS is a platform). Meaning you save your trip, email it, send it over MMS to another BB user and it'll auto open in their BBMaps should they have it installed. Even sending over BBMessenger is great for those from say overseas or another country (USA > UK) whom have never visited your native land before for a meeting or a latté. Don't knock something until A) you try it, and B) you understand more than its face value features. You wouldn't judge a potential bonafide just on face value features would you?
Personally though I prefer my S60 devices - and yes I know all about BB's and the OS along with corporately supporting them on both Exchange & Domino servers now.
btw, nice photo of the Storm & Bold. Now you need the landscape deskstand for the Storm!

I doubt the HTC Touch HD would fit in the Storm's desk top stand!

Prom1,
do you mean my photo?
That's the HTC Touch HD not sitting on a stand, but on the cloth case.
I like my Touch HD and Bold very much !

hi JK!!
My first time to be called a bastard after so long at esato !
Those pictures are not so good having been resized. Lanyard is nice though!
No stand with the HD! It would look extra cool
with a nice stand
Are you still using your BB Pearl ?
