At least I think it's a GPS issue. When I open the Google Maps app on my Thunderbolt, it pinpoints my location to -- at best -- 2400 meters. When I do the same thing on my Incredible side-by-side, it pinpoints me to within about 3-8 meters. In both cases the little GPS icon in the notification bar is chugging away, indicating (presumably) that GPS is working. When I click on the "My Location" balloon on the map, one of the options is "Improve My Location Accuracy," but when I click on this, it merely suggests that I turn on WiFi, which is odd and doesn't help in any event.
Likewise, when I load other GPS-dependent apps like c:geo (a geocaching program that works great on my Incredible) or My Tracks (which also works great on my Incredible), it cannot accurately pinpoint my location with GPS.
I downloaded a couple of GPS testing apps and they both seem to see plenty of satellites, although I confess I don't really know how to use GPS testing programs other than to confirm that my phone is apparently seeing multiple satellites.
And yes, as far as I know, the GPS is turned on. I use the Power Bar widget and the GPS is lit (and again, I get the little transmitting satellite dish icon in the notification bar).
Is there just some new setting that I am missing or did I get a bum GPS?
Thanks.
