I have run this new version and I can confirm it fixes the location problem for my Sprint Tour. They said they were working to get a new version through the App World.

Hi Chris,

Yes it is turned on and the location works perfectly for google maps and poynt and my own app that I wrote that reads the GPS. I know where the cell towers are and I can see that it is getting the closest cell tower unfortunately. Again, I am running the beta 5.0.0.230 OS because I had so many problems with the 4.7 OS, so maybe you only support/tested with the stock 4.7 OS?

Thanks for responding. I have coded several apps for myself, so I am very willing to help debug with a beta or a logging version if you have that option.

What OS are you running? The stock 4.7 OS or a beta 5.0?

Sort of at least for me on Sprint. I only ever get it to use cell tower not GPS.

Blackberry Tour not using GPS

I have a Blackberry Tour and was so excited to see that it was finally supported. So I downloaded it last night and while it runs, the location is always using the cell tower, not my GPS. I am running OS 5.0.0.230 on a Sprint Tour where the GPS works fine for every other GPS app. Is there something I have to do to make it work?

So, now I wrote a clone of portions of loopt in the time I have waited for loopt to be ported. It grabs my GPS location and sends it to my home computer to be logged. Granted, not the hard graphic parts, but still you would think a simple port would take less then 6 months.

It has been a month now with no response from Loopt. Are you still hoping to support the Tour? Or have you determined that the broken GPS chip thact causes Google Maps such a problem is going to make it so you also cannot work? I am not sure why this can't work given that a free software called GPS Logger works just fine. I went for a bike ride last night and it tracked my movements very well using my Tour. I saw it perfectly in Google Earth once I downloaded the saved positions to my computer about every 30 seconds which I would think would be often enough for Loopt.

Please give us some kind of update. I really miss Loopt since I had it on my 8330.
