still wondering these two things, bump...

By the way, my GSM radio is turned off, I am on CDMA only.
Is the GSM radio off be default? Where are the settings that let you manipulate which radio's are on or off?

As far as triangulation goes, it has placed me within 500 feet a couple of times, a few thousand meters sometimes, and once it told me that I was in Switzerland (I live in Georgia) ! It updated my google latitude location and a couple of my friends saw it... they were like wtf are you doing is Switzerland??
