Will GPS information be available on all mobile devices?

Will GPS information be available on all mobile devices?

If a client is having issues with GPS, there are several troubleshooting steps that the user should take:

• 
  First, does the user have a third-party mapping application like Google Maps installed? 
  

• 
  If so, does it recognize the user's GPS? 
  
• 
  If not, then the user's mobile device may not have GPS. 
  

2. 
   In some office buildings, GPS signal is too weak to determine location. The user should stand by a window or go outside to test it. 
   

• 
  If the device is a Verizon phone, note that Verizon has locked the GPS on many models so that it works only with Verizon VZNavigator. However, Verizon has published ROM updates that unlock some of their premium models, so using Google Maps may be possible.
  
  Note that updating the ROM on a device may remove all of the user's contacts, email messages, and other data. 

  For more information, the user must contact Verizon directly.
