this still happening even after i've updated the nokia maps & i've downloaded the maps (to avoid being connected all the time).
& it's not only with ovi maps, but with any program i install related to the GPS & location.

any suggestion or advice pls..
Is it wrong based on what the maps show you or based on knowing your actual latitude and longitude? If the former, maybe it's a maps problem... I've seen before (for example, google maps in rural USA) where an entire city is out of place by a few hundred meters. If the latter, then I guess it's a receiver (or AGPS) accuracy problem.
