If find that if I have 3 or 4 bars in Red Deer Alberta it's pretty accurate, when I get down to two bars however it thinks I'm in Calgary…

Mine was doing this as well (in Red Deer Alberta) I was showing as being in Calgary or out in the middle of the country. I just tried again and it has me about half a block from my current location. Wondering if this has anything to do with cell signal/reception? I would assume that could factor in. Although while Maps can find me Google Earth is still putting me down by Calgary…

Wow, how does that happen? I was told to stay clear from bell by numerous sources (current bell customers) and I think I made the right choice.

LOL–you guys are hilarious! I am sure Whitehorseans (is this even a word) don't find this funny at all. All 10 of them. Kidding!

No one visits there anyways so not to worry.

For a while after Rogers flipped the 3G switch here (Golden), I showed up as being in Coquitlam.

this is most probably due to the fact that the switch is in Edmonton for Whitehorse customers.

Weird. I have an iPod Touch and was living in Edmonton. Never had a problem with location finding. Since I moved to Vancouver Island, everytime I try to locate myself, it still says I live in Edmonton. Kind of strange…
