iPhone 3G GPS Problems
The iPhone 2.1 OS, billed as the iPhone firmware to fix all your iPhone stability, security, and battery woes, was recently released by Apple for all iPhone and iPhone 3G customers. Ironically, we’re hearing reports that the iPhone 2.1 OS is actually breaking one of the iPhone 3G’s headline features – GPS location mapping, to be precise.
For those of you experiencing iPhone 2.1 OS-related GPS problems, you’ll already be well aware that Google Maps just doesn’t seem to want to zero-in on your GPS position. Those blue crosshairs show your general position, but the little blue dot that shows your pin-point GPS location just never shows up. It’s frustrating, to be sure, but keep your head up, sport. Here’s how you fix your iPhone 3G’s broken GPS functionality:
- Navigate to Settings > General > Reset on your iPhone 3G
- “Reset All Settings”
Did you expect the iPhone 2.1 OS GPS fix to be hard or something?
Happy iPhone-ing!
