Testing Google Maps for mobile again

Like I mentioned before, I am using Google Maps for mobile. While in my previous entry I praised the accuracy of the automatic positioning feature, I soon found out that this is not always the case. While at the new campus of the University of Cyprus, my phone centered my location as shown in the following screen-shot:





















It took some zooming out to realize that this is actually Buenos Aires :-) Only 12270 Km away ;-)

Update: Today (September 17th, 2008) I tried again and this time it gave me a somewhat more accurate reading. Again from the University of Cyprus campus, it showed me at the headquarters of my carrier (Cytamobile Vodafone) with an accuracy of 5 Kms. This of course covers more or less the whole city of Nicosia. Well, at least the results were imrpoved by a magnitude of X2454!
