Accuracy of GPS

[Guest subhramani]

I have noticed that in Cupcake, GPS works pretty badly for me. Initially I thought since I live in a place where nothing is ever organized, GPS would even get confused about where the hell the phone is.

The time I started thinking straight was when it shows me exactly where I am, when I started using Eclair.

Any idea why this happens with cupcake? With cupcake, it tell me 'Accurate to 2500 meters' or something like that and tells me I am some 2 streets away.

2.5km accuracy sounds like network location. gps should be <50m, depending on signal strength.

Android 2.1 has the latest version of Google Maps, I think because of which it is accurate and the maps are updated.

The version of Google Maps in cupcake is old and the maps aren't updated So...

I have the same problem, But I mostly use Maps when traveling to far places, So at that time it help me real fine.
