to answer your question - it depends on what Google Maps is doing to 
resolve your location.

If I understand you correctly, you're using the Google Maps api to display 
current location, and you're comparing that location (which always seems 
available) with the location information that the LocationManager provides 
you.  Is that correct?

If that is, then there are a couple things that could be happening:

1. Google Maps could be resolving your location through some other means, 
which includes contacting your phone's carrier to get a fix (Assisted GPS).
2. Google Maps could be using it's own way to resolve your location based 
on a cell tower.  Google uses a database for this purpose.


In any case, you should expect to see a difference (not that you always 
will - but expect it to be so), between what you see on Google maps and 
what LocationManager tells you.

Hope that helps.

Cheers,
Richard
