I was just LMFAO today!! :D On my lunch break, i noticed that weather widget shows "current location" with temp 27F. So i pressed "update" and it showed that i am in Liliyan, Estonia!!! It is a part of EU, old state of well passed CCCP, or Soviet Union, if you like! Hahaha!! Then, i tried to open Navigation, and it showed me an error message, that "Nav using Google Maps is not yet available in your area". :eek:
Now, the only question i would have is; is it my phone, or the network?? After few minutes all went back to normal, and i was back in Chgo. :cool:

I have been teleported to different towns myself lately. Last time I went from Downers Grove to Northern California. I even imagined that I ate at Fishermans Warf and saw the Village People. My handset hasn't taken me over seas yet but im sure its coming my bags are packed. Yes its a software bug.

I called tech support and no one had an answer to why it does this. The best they could offer is, "Restart the phone"...
