GPS incorrect...

makryger · #1 (**permalink**) 06-23-2010, 09:54 PM

My GPS seems to be very off in terms of locating me. It tends to be wrong by a few blocks, even though it seems to think it is accurate up to 10 meters... what could be going wrong? I tried reflashing an older Rom where I know it worked, but it is still incorrect.

Any suggestions?

I'm guessing you've already tried QuickGPS?

Yeah, I have. Even then, it allows for faster gps acquisition- it shouldn't cause the sum of 8 satellites to give the wrong location...

it's done that to me before too. when i was using Bing. Now i only use Google maps and enable GPS in the settings, pretty accurate.

For me, its the same spot in every mapping app- google, bing and garmin. sigh.

This may be a shot in the dark but try updating your PRL (*228 option 2) and ensure that aGPS is enabled. Maybe that will prompt the phone to look for closer cell towers and make the GPS more accurate.

It may be me but I don't think agps is enabled on the imagio.
