Message "GPS not available on this phone.... I have telenav GPS on my phone....isn't that GPS?

That usually means the phone denies the GPS access by AccuTracking, which is a 3rd-party application. TeleNav on the other hand is partnered with your carrier and not restricted by this.

Is there any way to change this? It seems other GPS apps work fine on this model, Telenav, Spot etc...

I have a Blackberry Curve 8330 on Cellular South's CDMA network. I have downloaded Google Maps for Mobile which uses the phone's GPS capabilities to show my current location, but I get the same message as above when attempting to run Accutracking--"GPS not available on this phone." As stated, a third-party app is used to access the phone's GPS capabilities. What gives?

I believe Google is partnered with Alltel so their application runs ok.

Right.

Anyway, like I said, my CellSouth phone wasn't working but now it is. I had to change the setting for the browser to emulate MS IE instead of Bberry browser.
