i have never heard of this problem. you got the rev a rom 3.16 or the WM 6.1 rom correct???? you might not be finding satellites have you tried going outside and seeing if it can find them. the first time ran google maps can take up to 10 minutes to connect than just seconds after the first time,

[rico002]

well the blue is ur gps location obviously, but get gps test app i dunno if the have it here try local search and then get that running, and then on the screen when u see it say " GPS running" retry the googlemaps track location option again

i also have the similar problem after upgrading to 6.1..it just keeps seeking gps satellites.....it also says my handset doesn't seem to be compatible with my location (beta)feature.

make sure that on your device when you go to settings/connections/external gps (even though it says external as though its for a gps device that you link to it still applies in this instance) that you have the setting under the 'access' tab set to allow windows to manage gps automatically.

i WOULD try and load a GPS app first and get a GPS signal. (Sprint NAV, telenav, garmin, etc.) Then once you have locked on to a GPS signal then try to locate yourself in google maps.

yeah i tried that also...and it says that my device is not compatible with my location...
