Maps is showing my location to be several hundred feet off from my current location. Claims to be accurate to 5 meters, but is way off. It completely screws up navigation.

I loaded Jelly Bean on Wednesday, and the GPS was working fine on Thursday and Friday, but today it's way off. So I restored my previous ROM using the nandroid backup I made before flashing Jelly Bean, and the GPS is still showing the wrong location. I was hoping it was something global, but my wife's Razr Maxx works fine.

Mine is WAY off as well. Just started today. Shows me several blocks over. I'm still on AOKP B38, and haven't changed anything.

Yeah same here. My GPS thought I was driving through the middle of the mall today. I did like 3 battery pulls, toggled GPS on and off...nothing. I turned it off cause I was getting so annoyed with it. On my way back from a friends house about an hour ago it was back to being correct though.

No clue. Sun flares? Its super hot out here today.

I wonder if there is something going wrong with one of the satellites or something because I had this exact same issue. Normally it's spot on.

I hope air traffic controllers aren't using Google... >jk

It seems that this issue is somewhat common right now. People in the JB thread in Rooting/ROM/Hacks are reporting GPS problems, and that services like Sygic are as well.

This...this is happening regardless of Android version, rom, and phone.

Just saw a post saying it was fixed, so we'll see.

Good to hear. If I had a phone at all, I'd verify it myself.

I can verify it, it nearly killed me last night .

Well, mine is still off. When I open maps, it shows me at my house for a few seconds and then moves me about 200 feet away.

Also, before I posted the original post, I borrowed my wife's phone and drove around town. Her Razr Maxx was dead on the whole time.

I'm just glad I'm not the only one with problems.

Weird, I believe I was just in a RAZR forum and they were discussing the same issue lol

GPS still not working for me. Maps shows a 20 meter accuracy and places my location two blocks southwest of where I am.

Its all phones. Just go to the play store and look at the comments.

It isn't all phones. Just went outside and tested GPS with a Galaxy Nexus and a ThunderBolt.

The Tbolt showed my corrrect location with an accuracy of 10 meters. The Galaxy Nexus placed me two blocks SW but also indicated an accuracy of 10 meters. I made sure that wifi was off on both phones and verified a GPS lock with GPS Status before opening Maps.

Tbolt is running Maps v 6.9.0 while the Galaxy Nexus is running v 6.9.1. This is starting to look like a Maps issue.

I installed mine from the Play Store after renaming the original one "maps.apk1" in the system/apps folder. Play Store is reading the latest version as 6.9.0 as well.

[craigrn16]

I guess there is no way to uninstall updates for Maps?

You can try an old apk...perhaps?

[Mercury81]

Actually there is in settings...

Just got on here to see if others were reporting this. My GPS was way off today, still is. Thought it may be JB, but looks wider than that.

Could it be the leap second?

Yea, mine doesn't give me the options to uninstall updates. By the way seeing as how you are on an Evo does your GPS work?

[Omar19961]

My nexus s is doing it to. (Stock ROM )
