Hi all, Ive just set up a google account for the GF with the @googlemail.com thing is ive added her to my friends list so we can see each other etc but when i turn on my GPS and finds my position, my position is different to the one on her laptop screen,according to hers iam about 1 mile away but my phone is showing me to be spot on! Will her laptop not having GPS having anything to do with it?

Yes.

You need GPS for the most accurate positioning. Otherwise it looks for anything geographic for information like a phone tower.

Its what GPS is for.

Cheers for the reply, I thought me having gps and showing my actual position on my phone would show on the laptop ? Even tho she doesnt have gps I would only be able to find her nearest mast? The gps is only a receiver isn't it so id have thought that even tho she doesnt have one she would see my current location and that sent through gprs ?
