Has anyone else noticed that the new Gears geolocation service, with added data from wifi access points, is wildly inaccurate?
I've now tested it in three different locations, with the following results: * Rockville, MD: five wifi APs visible, geolocated to over 14 miles from my actual location; * Washington, DC: seven wifi APs visible, geolocated to over 25 miles from my actual location; * Bethesda, MD: eight wifi APs viaible, geolocated to over 14 miles from my actual location. Note that in all these cases, Geode (using Skyhook's wifi DB) got me to within a block of my actual location, and in two of the three, got me to within meters of my actual location. Jason
