    Hiya,

    I've been using Google Maps since I got my Curve and have been very happy with the real-time accuracy of the blue "you are here" dot, even while in a moving car.

    In the last week or two, my blue dot is no longer where I am, either moving or stationary. It's as if the triangulation math is wrong and my position is displayed as much as 1500 meters off. Driving is worse; it cannot keep up and isn't accurate like it used to be.

    I've got an 8310 Curve on AT&T, running OS v4.2.2.170, google maps is v3.0.1, not running Lattitude and I have 10353708 of 54919168 bytes available.

    Thanks for any advice.

    Try pulling the battery with the phone on and put it back in

    On one note, your memory is very low. You might want to do a battery pull and delete thing on the phone that are old (I.e. Old messages, call logs.) and apps you don't use.

    About google maps, I have been having problems with them lately as well.. Its a known issue that has been reported.. I'm currently using nav4all which gives you turn by turn directions, and voice directions.

    Had the same issue. Battery pull did not do the trick and I have sufficient memory. For me deleting and re-installing gmaps did the trick.

    Yes you can download it from your bb.. Go to your browser and search for google maps.. I think the website is something like www.m.google.com

    Make sure that when you download that you clean up your cache memory first. This can screw things up for a download from time to time.

    I ended up doing a bit of everything suggested - pulled the battery while powered up, deleted a large application I could live without and deleted/reinstalled Google Maps (now version 3.0.2).

    Add it all up and Google Maps seem to be back to its reliable ways.

    Thanks for the help everyone.
