Hi there,

I can't seem to get Google Maps or CoPilot to work properly with GPS on my phone (see below for error).

It takes me to the locations settings page, but everything looks ok to me.

When I run Google Maps workout putting in a location it does work VERY slowly (updates prob once every 10 seconds).

Here are the screen shots:

Any help would be appreciated.

Cool thanks.

Just wondering if it did not change back from when I tried the ultra power saving mode as I'm sure it was working when I first got the phone.

Could be because of power saving mode but have you got gps turned on in the pull down notification bar . Turning that on or off will affect navigation.

In the pull down menu GPS has been replaced with Location
Location can be turned on & off
When Location is turned on you have a choice of MODE setting
High Accuracy
Power Saving
GPS only

I use power saving then change to one of the others when needed i.e. for Sygic Navigation

Cheers
