Now with 2.0.1, I no longer get the the blue dot. I tried turning the 3G off, as described on this page, but to no avail.

If I turn 3G off then it doesn't give me the GPS location, it gives me the location using cell. I found if I'm in a Wi-Fi zone with 3G enabled it finds me via GPS faster than just using cell. It ends up being only 1 house off with being connected to Wi-Fi. But on 2.0 it wouldn't even give me the blue dot. At least on 2.0.1 I can see what the GPS looks like in person and am actually able to use it(sometimes) I’ve had problems with GPS on 2.0.1 I’ll ask it to find me and it ends up being a few blocks off.
