GPS Problem

Thanks for looking. Would appreciate any help on this.

I am in the UK and the GPS on my phone had been working perfectly with Google Navigation and Navigon until Friday. For some reason my position is being given as a few hundred yards to the right and a few hundred yard forward of where I actually am. I have switched the GPS and wireless location off and then both back on again, but it will not give me the correct location. It now appears that I spend all my time driving in fields or on roads in nearby towns and villages when I am on the main road past them.

Is there a quick fix or has my phone got a fault?????

All I can think of is a service test. At lockscreen, press MENU BACK BACK MENU BACK MENU MENU BACK, a service menu will appear, select Service rest>GPS. Hopefully it is not a hardware issue. Good luck Slightly_smiling_Face

Firstly, thanks for taking the time to reply, I appreciate it.

I have run the test, and it has found my position from 8 satallites. On my navigation software it is putting me in the right place when I am stationary. I will check it when I am in motion.

Thanks again

Just to let you know that did the trick. I am now back where I should be on the map and it is working perfectly.

Thank you for your help! Much appreciated.
