On the way back I decided to get myself a holster. Having read a number of posts about them and the majority ending with "and I got it at a Verizon store" I figured I'd go there.

So I used my GPS'd Curve along with Google Maps to find one near where I was driving (they have a good selection, magnet ones for standby and the Seido rubberized, magnetized one).

Got a leather one.




Now I'm sitting at home messing with the phone and using the satellite view it shows me sitting in the living room of my house, which is exactly where I am.




Now I'm just waiting for the black helicopters to show up

Mine is usually off by about 20 feet or so (depending on where I am) Highway usually is right on the money.

Last time I checked mine it was within 5,000 feet, big help there.

mine works great, got the within 3m

i like watching the lil dot when i drive around, it even gives an arrow pointing which way i am pointing to. Would suggest unistalling TeleNav and having just Google Maps with street view.

I get the same...maybe it something to do with your proximity to a tower.

If it reads 1500 meters then it is getting the position from the towers and not from the GPS.

Verizon locks down the GPS, unfortunately.

Mine is always 3 meters too, and also shows what side of my house I'm in. If only it would let me see inside other people's houses and buildings, that would be great!

Consider yourself lucky. My Telus 8330 tells me my location within 4100 Metres (13451 ft)

Mine is usually within a couple blocks. Pretty good for a free, non-gps unit! I'm pretty sure it needs more than one tower to be very accurate -- and the farther you are from the towers the less accurate it is. But I'm happy with the results -- at least I'm not demanding my money back!
