Is there a way of doing this? When I run Co-Pilot, and walk along my road, my phone appears to thing that I am walking at the back of the house rather than the fron on the road!

Is this an error or is that the norm?

I have tries Resetting GPS from with the co-pilot software and i was within 100km of a main town (Birmingham)

Thanks in advance.

No, there is no fine tuning or calibration of a device such as this, civillian use GPS is not pinpoint accurate.

You may not have a strong enough signal to accurately position you (3 Locked sats is the minimum to triangulate your position) or as likely the Co-Pilot mapping information for your area/street is simply inaccurate.

Other navigation vendors may produce differing results.

an update via QuickGPS will clear that...this is necessary once in 3 days - gives the GPS device the positions of the sattelite. Even connection will be faster.
