Hi all! A fellow Incredible owner here. I've had the phone 1 day before the actual release date and loving it. However, I'm having a small problem and trying to figure out if anyone is experiencing what I'm seeing. Whenever I do a voice search, for example "Starbucks", the search results shows me Starbucks location in Sunnevale, CA instead of Fort Worth, TX (where I live). I have checked all phone configurations and they are all seem to be correct. I went to settings>location>use wireless networks & use gps satellites are checked with location on for location settings. What am I missing? I have a co-worker that's having the same issue and he got his phone about 5 days ago. What are the chances of both phones being defective? Any help or advice on this would be greatly appreciated.

Cheer!
 
I don't think your phone is broken, I think that maybe google maps isn't updated in fort worth or something.

Try this and see if it works. Find something in town that has been there forever..like 10 years. Search for that and see if it finds it.

I have an issue with the gps in my car like that...but I don't want to pay the money for updated maps lol. If I search for certain things that are new to my area, even if they have been there a few years, sometimes I get results in other states.
 
Don't know if this might impact it, but do you have Background data and Auto sync checked in the Accounts and sync settings?
