<start rant> I've had issues on & off with the GPS and Google Maps (in Canada). I'd definitely throw some cash down on a truly standalone GPS/Mapping program that uses the GPS antennae and chip but comes with it's own maps. Tom Tom are you listening? As a "back water" Canadian, I'm often out of cell coverage and the Google Map application won't run without Internet access. If you're out of town your s.o.l. for GPS navigation. Oh, and BTW Bell Canada & Palm, not having a "Sprint Nav" type of application for Canadian really sucks! Get your ****** together! <end rant>
Yes it does suck that our Pre's dont come with Nav...but that was quickly solved by our great friends on this forum lol
Just tried to get directions off my Sprint Nav and I got "Could not find route: Your account has expired. Renew or call..." Ohhhh nooo my favourite app... what to do
Weird....No such problem here.
damn...unistall/reinstall didn't work...
Time to revive this thread. My GPS went down yesterday and hasn't re-surfaced since. Anyone else having this problem AGAIN!?!?!!?!?!?
Well, Google Maps & Sprint Nav place me within AGPS accuracy only 
and GPS dashboard says signal strength is too low to aquire a position
and GPS dashboard says signal strength is too low to aquire a position I Have the same issue for more than a month now. The GPS cannot acquire a lock for many days, then it start working again.
I'm currently waiting for a new Pre as my current one camera is no longer working.
But all in all it is very strange. I very much doubt this is a hardware problem but probably their AGPS servers are down. It is a shame we cannot get network statuses from Bell for these functionnalities.
I really hope other GSM provider in Canada will take the Pre or Pre Plus soon so I can quit Bell.

Google maps is still picking up my location (even tho its a few hundred meters off)
I just got off the phone with Bell Technical Support. They have confirmed that there was a problem and a service ticket on the issue exists but they believed that the problem was resolved. While on the phone with tech support, they confirmed that there was at least "one" other email about the problem.
No solution yet....

Haha that "one" other email was probably me; which was a week or two ago
It is 12:13 and I am officially up and running!
Mine was working fine at 4pm Mountain time yesterday, but wasn't working this morning. 10:42am Mountain now and it's working again.

Tested this morning with my defective Pre on the train, also was playing with the new unit. In Scarborough near Scarborough Town Centre.
Locking was near instant.
