I hate to disagree with a SupMod but as far as I can tell mine works.
I just downloaded google maps and first it said that my device was not set up to use "My Location" but I went into the menu (soft right key) and clicked "Use GPS" the hit 0 [zero] for "My Location" again and voila it found me. If it could zoom in any closer it would actually tell me which room of the house I'm in. Its sensitive enough to track me walking around the house. I cant wait to play with this some more.

P.S. To bobjones207, if this is not the option you were looking for I apologize to n99hockey for doubting your wisdom.

Well there is no about under my Help, it is under settings but that doesn't have the myl you asked about. But I'm pretty sure its a Q9c (thats what I paid for ).

Ok I looked under the battery and it does say Q9c.

I downloaded the app from google.com/gmm using my phone if that makes a difference. It's on Sprint running WM 6.1.

I should have read your link before I responded. You ARE correct and I am wrong. I am using GPS not my location.

[n99hockey]

ok good to know just so we know whether or not google added the Q9c to the list of available phones

You may want to delete this conversation at some point so we dont get accused of hi-jacking this thread LOL

Thanks for getting me straight.

[n99hockey]
