    When GPS satellites aren't available will the Droid use cell tower info to give map info like the (non-storm or tour) Blackberries do with Google Maps?

    I'm curious too. My GPS hasn't been accurate lately, and I don't know what the deal is?

    I have found that when it is using cell towers only it is not accurate at all and I might as well be driving with a blindfold, with the GPS active, Google maps is better then my dedicated GPS.

    Yes, it will give you a circle around your location.

    To the user above that said it hasn't been accurate, that's a known glitch. Unfortunately, the phone thinks its accurate information, and is therefore displaying the (erroneous) GPS position rather than the cell tower location.
