Thanks for your inquiry. If your having issues with your GPS signal, are you able to make calls? The GPS signal works with the signal to the towers in your area. You can try powering off and on each device to see if it refreshes the connections. I am giving a link that can access as a reference for your device. The link is: http://support.vzw.com/clc/devices/index.html

Since My post a few minutes ago I have researched and determined that the dod is doing some type of testing in new mexico and is affecting texas and should be cleared up by 4/27/11. I just googled "gps testing in new mexico" and it came up as a FAA advisory. I also contacted a verizon store manager and he told me the same.
