I'm off wifi and both the Navigation and Maps Apps won't work (get a "searching for Gps signal"). Gps Is turned on in the settings screen. So, either the recent update screwed it up or it just doesn't work with no wifi connection..

Update: I did some further testing and here's what I discovered. Using a GPS utility from the android market I verified that the GPS in my Acer works. It was able to find satelites when I was near a window. But, the Navigation and Maps apps didn't work until I turned on the WiFi and had an Internet connection. So, I've concluded that using the GPS is rather useless unless you have an active Internet connection. Just my 2 cents...

I have not been able to get the GPS on any one of three A500s to work.

GPS apps see one or two satellites but can't get a lock.

I've tried in Chicago and in New Jersey, both out in the open, connected to WiFi or off cached Goog Maps.

It gets a rough location using the network location or a WiFi location, but never gets a GPS lock.

In each location my TBolt has gotten a lock within 10-20 seconds.

Already tried clearing the AGPS cache.

All of them were post-July born-on dates.

No clue. Oh, well. I'm just going to treat it as if it doesn't have a GPS.
