Hi All

I have installed Google Maps on my Okta Touch and am trying to use the 'Locate Me' function, but when I hit this it tells me it is not compatible with my phone. Is this correct? Anyone else get this?

This function only works on GSM networks.

You can enable GPS on your Touch and use the 'Use GPS' option instead

Hmmm yes I've been looking at that, but I'm not yet sure I have the guts to do it. It's very frustrating knowing that there's GPS capability sat in the phone but no way of using it without risking bricking it. I wish Telecom would release an update, I'd be happy to pay for it.
