[QUOTE="MikeFromMesa, post: 1827365, member: 305741"] Thanks, but I did what I should have done before I posted. I shut down the iPhone 6, removed the valid SIM from my regular phone and placed it in the 6. Started it up, verified that I could make a call with the SIM and then tried the navigation software. I got the exact same error message about no GPS so I think that solves the problem. The GPS system in the refurbished phone just does not work. Fortunately I bought it from Amazon so it is going back, but not until I put the SIM back in my new phone. :D This was really too bad. The refurbished phone looked new and aside from the GPS issue it worked perfectly and was inexpensive. I guess I will try again but this time verify before that the refurbishing company fixes the GPS as well as the phone stuff. [/QUOTE]
