    If your jailbroke and unlocked on baseband 1.59 then there are issues with gps as per info on the unlock

        Settings,general,about,modem firmware. Is it unlocked,if your on baseband 1.59 where there are issues there's no workaround ,if on pay as you go it's either legit unlock or ipads 1.59 fw just check

              1.59.00 is for iPhone 4 only....you need an app that requires a GPS signal...like TOMTOM app.failing that think about a full RESET in settings...worse case you may have Restore your 3G.

                  Make sure the 3G is switched on in settings...check on google maps on your iPhone, see if it locate your position. if "NO" switch off 3G in settings....into google maps,try to locate yourself....back into setting and switch 3G back on...should be working..... The iPhone GPS works in conjunction with your 3G to locate your position....you will need the 3G.

                    I actually meant 06.15 ,getting mixed up, but seeing he isn't unlocked then it doesn't matter and he shouldn't get any issues with tom tom ,maybe he should just download again
