Do you know anything about how to get it to work?

Was that program designed for Windows Mobile 5?

If so, you should be made aware that your device is NOT a PPC. It is a smartphone.

Kinda like a DIET Coke.

Anyway, you have Windows Mobile for Smartphones, Version 5. Confusing, I know.

Point is, if that program was designed for WM5, it may or may not work. Contact Microsoft or Google.

I already contacted Google, but no answer so far, I'll try Microsoft, but I'm afraid that the answer I already know, they will tell me to contact the manufacturer or the provider, I have another experience with them ☹️

but thanks anyways, I'll double check on that.

You need to have a separate gps receiver in order for the program to get location service. The phone is gps capable but only A-GPS which means that Verizon has to provide an additional signal.

Thank you, FYI I have Sprint Q, but I think the same will apply too.
