Wotcher all, this morning I was surprised to look across at my Nexus One in its dock and clock that the weather in my location, Liverpool, was displayed. This was odd because I'm about 300 miles away from Liverpool. Suddenly my network-based location has gone from being accurate to about quarter of a mile, to being 300 miles out. This is on 3, has anyone else on 3 noticed any similar issues or is it just me?

I've tried turning off wireless to prevent it using hotspots to locate itself, no difference, and of course if I enable GPS it locates me fine but I don't want GPS enabled unless I'm using satnav.
