My location, google map

[rgny]

I dont know whats happening but my phone is dislocated, shows the wrong location which is like 2miles away from where I'm actually at. Any1 knows why is this happening?? Its been like this for over a week. Any help will be well received.

make sure your GPS is on. Sometimes it takes a minute or so for it to find your exact location.

There are two settings on GPS and the first is just location and the other is GPS Satellites in settings/Locations and security. The GPS satelite will eat your battery up but its the one that will give your location away.

It's pointing to the closest cell tower.

You must be inside a building where the phone cannot get a GPS fix, therefore it is defaulting to triangulating your position based on the cell towers (less accurate).

This should do the trick, outside of a building. Also, i don't have any issues with battery consumption w/ both of these on.
