That is the most enticing thing about Android or even a Storm or Storm 2. Unlocked GPS. Now I am probably going to get a Garmin for Christmas.

Garmin has had a relationship with AT&T for some time. They actually sell them in AT&T stores.

Not to mention the Amazon Kindle. Most of the upcoming emerging devices will be GSM. It's a GSM world boys.

So what Garmin is trying to tell me is that my Tour somehow has its GPS locked?

I wonder why Blackberry Maps and Google Maps can both access it then?

No. Tour and Storm 2 and possible Storm are fine. However my Curve isn't. This site has probably been up for a while and I doubt Garmin is going to update it when ALL VZW berries have unlocked GPS.
