Well, Waze worked perfectly fine after I got the data to start running to it. Pretty accurate. I opened up google maps, and suddenly its working great as well...but I noticed something different. I no longer have the giant blue triangulation circle...instead it was just the "My location" blue dot, and right on top of me. I wonder if something was keeping my GPS from priming? I will have to play with the GPS some more...

That's a good question. I don't use google maps so it is probably something to do with that. I have gps up all day because of location weather.

Re: GPS Problems

My problem just started happening recently, and is similar to this..

Google Maps for me is terrible, it's location for me is off by at least 2-4 miles and at times over 200miles. Sprint Navigation is spot on, as is where, it's just a Google Maps thing.

Is anyone else experiencing this? It worked flawlessly before, so I'm wondering if there is something happening with their sats during this time.

Re: GPS Problems

Try turning off GPS, turning it back on, then resetting. That's how I get my phone's Sprint Nav to work when it gets stuck.
