Blackberry 8800 – Will my GPS Work Internationally? Not in Germany Either!
Yesterday I mentioned the problems I had with getting my GPS to work in India with Google Maps.
Well, now it appears that the problem is more world-wide with the Blackberry 8800 and that the GPS functionality will only work in the United States.
Why am I suggesting this? Well, during my lay-over in Frankfurt on Sunday -- I decided to test out the GPS (Gobal Positioning System) function on my Blackberry 8800 while connected to the German networks. While wandering around the International terminals at the Frankfurt airport, I tried several different times to locate a GPS signal.
However, each time I attempted to connect -- I received the same old message -- Signal to weak to pinpoint location. Assumption is now that the GPS functionality only works in the United States which is a complete bummer.
I'm going to give it a final try in Cancun & Cozumel, Mexico next week. Let's hope it works.
Have you had the GPS functionality work for you outside of the United States?
