Google Maps can still detect your approximate location using the cell tower system that is used by 911. Recently, Verizon unblocked GPS for the BlackBerry Maps only application only. Google Maps is still blocked. I still don't use BB Maps because it's not as great an app as Google Maps, but if I need to know my exact location I'll open BB Maps for that purpose. Another thing to note is that the GPS tends to have trouble detecting your location when you are indoors. The cell tower location system does not have this problem.

And is unlikely to ever be able. Its just life. This whole GPS versus AGPS is silly. AGPS has such little practical use IMO. Who is in such a hurry they can't wait the extra 30 or so seconds?
