There was a google maps update pushed to my phone today I installed it and to be honest was working just fine and fast!

Yeh, not to many people had this problem. But whenever an App tries to access GPS, the phone would soft reset. I found out it was due to using task killers. Once I did the hard reset, my gps no longer crashed the phone. I still use a task killer, but only if the memory gets extremely low, which has happened it.

I wonder why I'm not having problems with ATK. I have ATK and was navigating with Google Nav yesterday, and it was flawless... Well except for a route/turn that would end up taking longer. :)

It seems its happening to random people, but one thing everbody has in common is a task killer. I saw a lot of people hainvg the same issue over at ppcgeeks. Hard reset so far has fixed this problem.
