Hi. When I used google maps, the little blue arrow telling me where I am does not stay in one place, despite the fact I am not moving. It is constantly moving around the general area of where i am. On my old lg renoir, this never happened. can anyone explain this to me? or think of a possible solution/reason? I really liked the google maps app on my LG because i found it very useful, and was hoping it would be the same on the satio, if not significantly more functional, but that does not seem the case. Do i have to wait a while for it to 'lock on' or something? At the minute i've been waiting about 5 minutes and it hasn't stopped moving. Any help is greatly Appreciated. Thankyou for all your help over the past few days as well, i've made a lot of threads, and I apologise for this.

This is not a fault with google maps, nor the Satio. All phones do this because sometimes they simply don't have a strong enough signal or it has not connected to enough sattilites. This will happen if you are indoors, since the GPS signal is reflecting off things, such as roof tiles etc.
When you go outside, and actually start moving, especially in a car, this should be OK again.
Remember, GPS is designed to work at its best if you are outside and can see the sky clearly with no interuptions.
Thanks
