As an interesting aside, Ovi maps does not indicate the position uncertainty (e.g. by drawing a big red circle around the position dot). I wonder if this has led some people to think that they have a GPS lock when in fact they don't.

Certainly this is very poor from a usability standpoint as you have no idea whether you are actually where it says you are! I raised a bug about it earlier in the year (iirc the time).
