Google Maps/Navigation Issues

Anyone having issues with Google Maps? Stuck on looking for the location...any tips or insight appreciated.

Make sure GPS is enabled or delete and reinstall. I've never had this problem but similar. Usually you get a message that maps requires GPS, but you never know. Good luck.

I've found when it gets stuck looking for location, I restart the phone and it works again. Not very convenient but it works.

On a related note:

Before this last update, I never had any problems with Google Maps, worked great and accuracy on my location was within three meters.

Now, I get the same problem acquiring GPS described above, plus my accuracy is crap-it varies from 8 to 300 meters. I was in Seattle on business last week sitting in an outdoor cafe when I opened up maps to check something. Google had me in a restaurant across the street!
Also gave me trouble when I voiced an address.
I miss the old version.

Anyone have any suggestions?

What phone are you using?

There are a number of posts around about problems with GPS on the SGS. One I've run across too (don't remember where at the moment...maybe on XDA) about putting on a new firmware/ROM (from MoDaCO) that fixes this and a few other problems.
