Brand new problem. Regardless of the application, my phone can't identify my location either via GPS or cel tower triangulation today. I get a message that my location can't be determined.
I have rebooted and re-synced. What could be wrong?

I have had this problem too. I was using loopt and where. I turned off 3g in settings and it finds my address. Not sure if this is a bug or what is happening. Give that a try and see if it finds your location. I know it isn't a fix, but seems like a bug when 3g is on. For the past 2 days the location has been working fine for me in 3g. ..

Well, that was it. When I turn off 3G, the pseudo GPS works fine. Damn it....what the heck is going on?

I really think there are some bugs in this firmware. Ive been having some issues myself. Not with the GPS, however, I always have 3G turned off its not available yet here. I really hope there is an update soon.

1. Do you have location services turned on in Settings?
2. The GPS antenna is pretty weak. It does not work so well indoors.
