Does anyone have an issue where if they toggle GPS off using the power widget, then goes back to re-enable the GPS, the GPS doesn't quite work right. I saw this yesterday the GPS was all wacky and GN wouldn't lock but maps would. I restarted the phone, and it worked great. I see this from time to time. Does anyone else have this problem.
 
yes, DON'T USE the widget

has been noted on here, and wifes phone did the same thing.. I immediately removed it from both of our phones

ahh cool, THX I searched but couldn't find it. I iwll look at other options. Im sure there are some posted, but what do you recommend.
 
Use the toggle (and the GPS) daily. Never experienced any issues. To say to remove the widget is a little premature.

What specifically is happening?

so,

1. phone is on decide to turn off GPS
2. Use power widget disable GPS
3. after X amount of time get on road need GPS
4. use power widget to enable GPS
5. launch maps (maps gets your location but is off by X amount of miles)
6. use maps to find directions
7. Navigator launches and sees your position initially from maps but says locating satellites and never locks onto you and give you directions.
8. hold down power button select power off
9. power on phone and redo maps/nav and nav will work 100%
 
Hmm, that is strange. I use the power widget all the time and have had no problems with the GPS locking onto my location..

Very odd...I do the same thing multiple times a day and never experienced this issue.
