I'm a big fan of this app. It's usually within a 30 feet of dead on accurate.
Alas, it's beginning to piss me off. Of course good things can't last.
I went into the city this past week. And I had a few problems, the biggest being, that the 3d map won't animate!
It got my current location ( which all of a sudden wasn't very accurate ), gave me directions, showed me the arrows and streets, and just wouldn't move after that.
I tried everything to fix it. I un did the hacks to make internet faster, and  nothing. Everyone once in a while, after powering up and down, it would animate for a few blocks, then stop.
What gives?
Anyone else have this problem?

Yes, recently in the past week, my GPS hasn't been that accurate.  It seems to be off like you said 30' or more everyday, and doesn't update my location like its supposed to, even with full signal. Something screwy is going on with the GPS signal.

From what I've read, your in the Baltimore area, right ? I am too, but I haven't used my Nav in a few weeks. I'll try it on the way to work tonight, and let you know what happens. Typically the only issue I have with it around here is when I go through the Fort Mchenry tunnel.

Yes, it does. I'm on that plan and can verify that.
