Has anybody got any idea's on how to fix my GPS? In ovi maps it shows me to be 600-700 meters away from where i actually am. I have tried flashing but firmware and emmc and have had no luck. I have read about issues in china and maybe some underlying map data issue but im at a loss now. Does anyone know what could be up? or if anyone knows how to/of any fixes? if not should i contact nokia? otherwise loving the N900. The device I have longed for all my life!

Is it so bloody hard?

If you want help, be constructive at least.

since 1.2 its never changed from coarse accuracy when ever i use it. couldn't tell on the motorway because i was driving but i left it connected for 2 hours and my possition was always off by about 700 meters, as if im driving in the fields. when im at home it shows me about 4-5 streets from where i am. it used to work fine but now its just giving me a head ache

I should probably quit now but what do your location settings say?

EDIT: I get fine accuracy with both online and offline mode
