Why is that? I read in another thread people talking about the accuracy of the position in New York City and saying that it was accurate within a block. But mine (in Google Maps) says it's showing my position with 1700 meters (sometimes, or 5000 meters, other times).

ps. I deleted BB Maps after installing Google Maps, and I can't tell any difference in the way GM works now vs the way it did when BBM was installed.
