I don't use Google Maps so I didn't test with that. I prime with GPS Viewer and then run either Live Search or TomTom.

In my experience Google seems less accurate in terms of position and map data. For instance where I live it has the street spit into two names for different parts which is inaccurate and the other 2 have it correct. Weird since I assumed they all got their maps from the same place at some level.

Also I fixed a typo on the original post I missed (sorry!) you must soft reset your phone after the fix, before it had the word not but anyone reading the linked thread saw that you had to.
