I had to download and reinstall from http://www.google.com/gmm. It really does work. As you might expect, it's only accurate to within a mile or so but that's good enough for some applications. I hope this gets Verizon rethinking their GPS lockdown. Viva competition! Update: It turns out that it wasn’t enough just to count on my current Google Maps application updating itself.

I hope this gets Verizon rethinking their GPS lockdown.

Viva competition!

It's kind of a "poor man's" GPS. I'd like to know if there's a way to have these work on those "nyah-nyah-you-can't-have-GPS-on-your-blackberry" Verizon phones. Mine is a 7130e and I don't see the option for "My Location", but I do see a "Bluetooth GPS" option, which doesn't seem to work. http://www.news.com/8301-10784_3-9824546-7.html?part=rss&subj=news&tag=2547-1_3-0-20 I would love for this to work even if it's not perfect.
