I couldn’t get Bing to recognize the GPS on my Omnia (post GPS unlock update). Google Maps does seem to work with it though.
Any thoughts?
@John, it could be the location where you tested the GPS while running Bing. Do you mind trying to load the application outdoors for around 15 mins? We’ll look into it and see if we can recreate the same problem. (will be posting this into our forum as well).
Won’t locate me, or change GPS locations on Omnia i900. Tried by inputting locations in “Search near here” or “Track me using GPS”. Still no update in location. Went to the weather webpage to lock in by weather location by setting it to my location. Still no change in use-ability of GPS and related functions.
