Verizon Quietly Disables BlackBerry GPS

GPS

Has anyone tried using an external bluetooth GPS with the Verizon 8830? I have a Polstar GPS and I paired with my 8830 but it doesn't work with the Maps program.

I moved to AT&T for exactly that reason. There was nothing compelling about the Verizon service that even made me think twice. I get similar coverage, similar costs, similar support (they both suck at customer service) but verizon disabled features while AT&T did not.
