I have had my Omnia for 6 weeks now but just now tried using VZ Navigator , the program is not working . it's saying there's a problem with the GPS , i was wondering if i need to enable something in settings or does Verizon have this program disabled. thanks

Not sure if we are going to help you.
Verizon Navigator is a program from VZW and you pay $9.95 monthly to use. Is this what you are referring to?
The Omnia i910 does have its' own GPS but VZW blocks so their VZW Navigator is the program to use.
You can download Google Maps Mobile to the Omnia and everything works except the GPS part because it is blocked. Maps, Street Views, Search, etc. work but no navigation.
There has been some talk of VZW unblocking the Omnia GPS which then would allow Google Maps Mobile navigation to function. Don't know if this will ever happen.

Greetings - I have VZNav on my i910. Have had it with other phones as well. Works like a charm. Love it to be honest. I would take it to a store and/or make a call to VZW. They should be able to get you going. Sorry you are having problems. It is a great program. Thanks!

it worked on my Omnia just fine. Hopefully you ppl remember that you do have to turn Location On !! Gotta switch the GPS from E911 to Location on for the Navigation to work properly!

I had an old bluetooth GPS unit that I used with moto q and got it paired with omnia and now have live location with google maps. After pairing bluetooth, set to com 1, and then in google settings found GPS on Com 1.
