You have to be connected to the internet, to view maps through the GPS. I can view Google Maps while connected to a wireless network, but when connected to 3G internet the maps don't load. Do you have to use a certain internet browser, or input special settings, to use Google Maps with 3G internet? The LG Renoir comes with a poorly explained instruction manual, which is why I need your help. I'm using the Opera internet browser, if that helps.
