Who's to blame?
Interesting, I have long suspected some shady practices at the big V, but I'm not sure what the deal is with my Storm 9530. I loaded Goggle Maps and checked Blackberry maps, and they both have my location off by at least a mile. So I bought a Keychain GPS 2000 to try as an alternate source. Once I finally got my Storm to pair with it--Blackberrys don't seem to want to pair with anything, makes me wonder how they keep procreating--I set it as the GPS source. It still was a mile off. Could this be Verizon F-ing with me, or is there something messed up with Blackberry's software? I wish I knew.

I have a 8830 through Verizon. I am trying a 30 day free trial of VZ Navigator and it shows me spot on when using their GPS. When I try Google Maps (free) I am well over one mile away from my location. I will remove the Verizon Navigator and see if there is a difference and I will not pay for a service from Verizon that is offered due to corrupt business practices.
