well i finally figuered it out, the stock map/gps app on the n900 its glitched, it only runs the GPS device for 30 seconds and then shuts off. I figuered this out because i watched that sattillite blinking for a while/ changing settings to see if i could get it to stay on longer. i turned off power saving mode, turned off network assistance, deleted the server so it was blank, and like i said earlier i attempted to put the maps onto it

anyways, the fix was i downloaded that Ecoach program that tracks exercises, that program keeps the gps active the entire time its open, hence i achieved a lock without a sim card in my phone.

and it achieved a fairly accurate location as well, the last 2 digits of my mailing address are 11, the gps said 50, i guess that kinda sounds like alot but when im looking at the map zoomed in its pegged right where i think my house should be on the map


anyways can someone tell me what my files should look like with a properly downloaded and installed maps? im still not sure i have them installed right because it keeps downloading all the time
