Reading this, I conclude that my Verizon Moto Q is simply intentionally crippled. I have no intention of switching carriers, but I am a bit peeved with Verizon about this! |
They aren't exactly lying, but they're not being very truthful, either. The GPS in my Q from ATT is just as crippled. This is one of the areas where the BlackJackII that I had for 3 days first was superior. The GPS in it worked just fine right out of the box. Google Maps' "My Location" worked just fine, no tweaking needed. All I can get from it with the Q though is "Your location is temporarily unavailable.". Yeah, "temporary" as in "until you cough up some more money either for the TelNav subscription or an external receiver."
integrated GPS, my @$$...
