Gps position

So now look at this. I reset the iPhone and am inside the house now and am getting a gps signal lock. Very strange. The great thing is how accurate it is. It shows me within about 10 feet of my location.

Gps on the iphone

Anyone else notice that the gps on the iPhone isn’t all they bill it to be? I have been trying tonight to get the gps to lock on while standing in my backyard using google maps.

10 minutes later and I’ve given up. I have had it work before, but it doesn’t seem to be reliable like other devices with gpsi that I have used recently.

Is it just me?
