MAPS-GPS Not showing little blue ball

I'm having the exact same problem with my iPhone 3G it used to work but now just shows crosshairs how do you fix this?

A restore should be done if powering your iPhone off and on doesn't resolve it followed by doing a reset, which is done by pressing and holding the Home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release - ignoring the slide to turn off prompt when doing so.

Restoring your iPhone from your iPhone's backup should the next step if the first two troubleshooting steps do not resolve it, and if a restore from your iPhone's backup doesn't resolve it, restoring your iPhone as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup should follow.

Has there been heavy cloud cover where you were driving over the last couple of days? If so, this may have an effect on GPS access.

no cloud cover. And the crosshairs are pretty close it just won't put the dot on me. Tried a reset and I'll have to try a restore. Thanks

If the standard troubleshooting steps do not resolve it, you have clear sky and not under any tree or building cover, time to give AppleCare a call.

Same problem. Only started occurring with most recent firmware update (2.2). Took the following steps to no avail:

-toggled airport mode
-toggled location permissions
-toggled 3G
-restarted phone numerous times
-soft reset numerous times
-restored phone to factory settings, which still gives 2.2 firmware

no fix yet... help?

I have the same problem, also after the complete restore. I try to find a city where I can have Street View (Paris, France for an example) I go to the street view ans use it and after I quit the Maps App I restart it and I touch the My place button, and the blue dot show again.

(sorry english is not my first language)
