Hey ckl_88, I just tried to experiment with GoogleMaps
it does put you in the (0.0, 0,0) - Guinea Bay - position even with the new radio
(I have the one 3.42.30 or something)..

in order to see it, you shoud enable internet, so that GoogleMaps can download, and also I switched on Satellite View instead of just MAP..

so it seems that there's no difference betweedn new and old radio
wrt this...

P.S.
if it is not too difficult, will you please try a test of Google Maps with the old radio,
in your spare time -
right after SOFT-resetting phone, and resetting google maps (menu, options, reset), and when sats are NOT available,
but internet IS - to osee if it still puts you in the middle of the ocean - (thsi way I think the last known location will be cleared
even wi the older radio).. thnx a lot in advance, I'd like to se if it is indeed useful to downgrade the radio!
