Hey leesefton1988,

Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.

 

The BlackBerry 8520 can use check-in if it is using BlackBerry OS 5 or higher. 

 

What version of OS are you using?

Re: GPS Blackberry Curve 8520

All documentation on the 8520 that I've seen suggests that there is no built-in GPS in the 8520.  The 8530, yes but the 8520, no. 

 

I'm curious about what ViciousFerret is referring to, and I look forward to being educated on this point and proven wrong.  :smileyhappy:
