Thats the strange thing. Using the WiFi router software running on the diamond with the iPod Touch connected, I travelled over 100 miles and Google maps on the Touch displayed "My Location" pretty accurately for the whole journey. This confirms that the Diamond is using cell tower triangulation to provide co-ordinates to the Touch as the only connection to the Touch was from WiFi and thats coming from the Diamond's Wifi Router software AND the WiFi has no idea of its co-ords as its running from the Diamond (not static) - very strange as to why it would not work....
