Blue "gps dot" lagging big time and going from one street to another. I was driving around OAKLAND of all places at 2am lost. Needless to say it was an ... uh ... experience.
Not sure what it was locking on but dot would say I was on 40th st and I'd be on like 70th st or something across the map.
Also not sure what's going on but my TomTom Navigator will not pick up any GPS signal. Loads maps just fine, just can't get a GPS signal at all, even when GMaps supposedly does.

Any chance that you ran QuickGPS first? One of the many times that I flashed, I forgot to run QuickGPS. It took forever to pick up the satellites. Once I ran QuickGPS it was practically instantaneous finding the satellites.
Most likely GMaps was using tower lock which is more like a guestimate than a true location. Mine sitting at home is actually a town away from where I live. Using GPS instead of tower lock, and it can tell which side of the house I'm on (obviously using it outside and not inside).
