Has anyone else having any problems in getting GPS to work? I'm on UK Vodafone, unlocked and unbranded handset, and Wayfinder will not connect to the internet.
All my other net applications work, Opera Mini, and Google Maps connects too, but Wayfinder won't! Any one got any ideas?
I've selected my Contract wap settings as the internet connection, but still no joy.

@Marty

I think you should of chosen VodaFone Internet GPRS and not Wap as wap will be very slow and is not the full internet which i would think Wayfinder would be using. Try that and see if it works.

Contract wap is the Internet settings i downloaded from the Sony ericsson website, which Opera runs on in 3G and browses the full net.

Well, I just created a new Internet Profile called 'Vodafone GPRS', named the APN as 'internet' and that's it. No other settings. Set this as the Internet Connection for wayfinder, and it connected!

However, for the life of me, I can't get the GPS to lock onto a signal!
