Copilot not working on Jailbroken 3GS

[Dick18]

I have a jailbroken iPhone 3gs and have installed a copy of copilot which seems to load ok and finds my position initially then freezes and keeps saying "trying to determine current position" and stays that way.
I have been in touch with copilot technical advice and have followed all of their instructions but still the same.
Is this to do with the jailbreak,the copilot or phone settings or am I missing something?
All other gps functions seem to work ok.

It would be helpful if you included a list of your troubleshooting steps. Have you tried reinstalling the app? You could try a hard reset. Press the home and power buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo flash. No data will be lost.

I doubt it has anything to do with the jailbreak, unless you unlocked. Some unlocking tools can cause problems with GPS.

I think it has more to do with the "installed a copy of copilot" - doesn't sound very legit to me, maybe im being an old cynic.

Yes I did unlock it and it is a legit copy, I tried hard reset and ended up having to reinstall and downgrade to 4.1. I have read that it could be the unlock is there any way of getting round this

He said he talked to Copilot tech support and they probably wouldn't have helped him if it wasn't legitimately purchased.

Did you use the iPad's baseband to unlock? It can break GPS or cause a poor signal, which could explain the GPS signal dropping after you connect to Copilot. Try Googling iPad baseband GPS fix.

It's an iPhone 3gs and I used UltrasnOw to unlock it will that fix it?

That can cause GPS problems as well. You could try resetting your network settings or restoring and unlocking again.
