I don't have a basement but sitting in my living room the little blue dot is on top of my house on the satellite.

GPS isn't going to be 100% accurate. It has a pretty good distance it can be off by. Only military can be very accurate. Mine is somewhere in my backyard however when I use the locate feature.
