Howdy,

So glad to be back on the iPhone (horrendous story about Android for another time!)

My only problem with the 4S compared to the 4 is GPS..specifically, Google Maps. It's not quite as accuate as 4 was, tends to bounce a round a lot, and when you choose street view -- the previous picture won't clear out.

Is anyone else having probs with Google Maps/GPS?

Thanks!

I just posted on this topic but my GPS accuracy seems to be worse on the 4S than my 4 as well. Not sure about in maps but I've noticed using the Garmin Navigation app (on board maps version). It doesn't even show me on the road I'm on (slightly off to the side). Didn't they say in the keynote to get the better cell signal they moved the WIFI and GPS antennas inside the device? Not sure but if this is the issue I will be very disappointed.

While I haven't used any navigation apps yet, I concur that the 4S GPS is acting kinda flaky.
