GPS and its location accuracy.

[saveferris]

Does your GPS give you an accurate reading? mine sure as hell doesn't.

When I'm at my home location which is house number 16, my GPS tells me im 4 houses up at number 20, of course I look around to make sure i'm not in somebody elses home. So thats not the issue.

Its also the same when driving on Route, I never get a "You have arrived at your destination" the destination is always 4 or 5 house blocks before.

Its been the same with all the major GPS softwares available, I've tried Tomtom6 & 7, Garmin XT and IG08.

Is my Diamonds GPS having issues? Is there away to fix this or reconfigure it.
Can someone please explain why this is happening!!!

Thanks in advance

no, you are not imagining things, yes, there is a problem that maybe future radios will solve and yes, please make a search before you post. there are at least two more threads about this. just search GPS (the search command is in the upper left corner of the forum, on the brown band).
thank you for yr cooperation in keeping this forum clean!

My GPS so far seems to be working fine, always gives me accurate readings.

In google maps, the GPS when indoors reports me as being just 2-3ft away from where I am on a good day and on a bad day can put my GPS position in my back/front garden even though I'm in the house.

The only major problem I have is when I enable Assisted GPS, with this enabled the GPS works as normal, but after a couple of times using it doesn't work properly. If I try to use TomTom 7 or Google Maps, it says it sees 5-6 sats then gets a signal then instantly reports there is not GPS device, again acquires a perfect signal then looses it again, will do this in any GPS program.

Disabling assisted GPS fixes this issue. Most problems are just software issues and this is the first radio, so future releases should be a lot better.
