Verizon Touch Pro’s GPS unlocked — and not by Verizon

Filed under: HTC, Verizon Wireless, Windows Mobile

Why wait for Verizon to do it? As usual, the always-vigilant WinMo community has come through with its own GPS unlock for Verizon’s Touch Pro, meaning you’re not locked to the VZ Navigator app — pricey monthly fee and all — to get your coordinate fix. The unlock’s a little hacky, and the trick’s author himself says that it should be characterized as a “beta,” so we wouldn’t recommend doing this if you rely on your Touch Pro to be spot-on perfect day in and day out — but if you like living on the edge and you just love knowing where you are, this might be worth a shot.
