While the Storm's GPS does work with Google Maps and Latitude, it reverts back to Cell tower triangulation as soon as you lose GPS signal (like every time you go inside). Worse: the Cell tower triangulation is 2 miles off from my actual location.<BR/><BR/>Even if the last known location via GPS stuck (so it would stay on the building you are inside of), the implementation of Google Maps on the Storm is horiffic! There is no horizontal mode supported, so you get a small little map with a big virtual keyboard that you can't get rid of. None of the on-map control icons can be used (such as zoom!) since there is no cursor mode supported. All in all, it's nearly unusable by all but the most pain-resilient users. My buddy with a Bold has a far better time with using both G-Maps and Latitude, even with only triangulation, since he can use his trackball with a cursor.<BR/><BR/>So, good news for all other BB and MS Mobile users... you've got it a lot better then the Storm users! I'd trade the GPS support for a horizontal mode and a virtual cursor any day!Adam Thomas, Crisis Systems Analysthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13712899622095953617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1737808092791042537.post-83352442648288313622009-02-24T10:57:00.000-08:002009-02-24T10:57:00.000-08:00Can we expect GPS for older Blackberries any time ...Can we expect GPS for older Blackberries any time soon? or at least ever?
