GPS keeps putting me in North Carolina

Hello-

I recently went to DCD's 3.0.1 release, and GPS keeps putting me in North Carolina, with both Google and Live Search. I'm located in New Jersey.

Am I doing something wrong? It seems adamant about North Carolina...

Thanks.

Thanks, but that didn't help.

Figured it out...I had set my time zone wrong (-6 instead of -5). As soon as I set it correctly, GPS works perfectly.

Thats nothing my Mogul keeps putting me of the coast of Africa! Whoops.

And now the problem is back. I'm either in Georgia, North Carolina, or the west coast of Africa.

This is really disappointing. :/ Am I the only one having problems with GPS on an xv6800?

off the west coast of Africa is the default position: on the prime meridian and equator. I used to get that alot when it couldnt get a fix on 3.16

This happened to me the first time I used DCD's rom....it actually took about 20 mins for it to find my actual location the very first time I used it...but after that initial wait...it loads up almost in seconds... The other thing I do when it doesn't connect right away, is I click "USE GPS" to uncheck it...Google maps will freeze for a few seconds, then when it clears up I click "USE GPS" again and then I move the screen around to force Google maps to resend the request for a data connection...

Hope it helps...
