Yesterday, I exchanged my 8530 at Best Buy because my none of my GPS app worked reliably. Neither Maps, Sprint Navigation, nor Google Maps worked, except intermittently.
On my replacement 8530 the GPS worked great 100% of the time. That is, until I loaded Vlingo onto the new phone. After that, the new phone started having GPS problems the same as the old one. So I remove Vlingo, and wallah! Now the GPS works 100% again.
Apparently, Vlingo interferes with the GPS on the 8530. I thought I would post this so that no one else has to go through the frustration that I did.
