Actually, I should have said WPS... The IP address is accurate and is displayed at the location of my WiFi (MiFi) ISP not unlike my PC IP address.
To put it simply, I've been able to get very accurate readings using the "navigator.geolocation.watchPosition()" method. Now, after a number of accurate location updates, Mobile Safari begins geo-locating with the IP address rather than WPS and displays the iPods location as the physical location of my ISP. Regardless of location, time or any other factor the position will not move form the IP address location until I clear the cache, toggle location services and refresh the page. So, for some reason, after several 'good' updates the location is 'stuck' at the IP address location. One would think that moving / driving around would cause the device to update using WPS at least once or twice but it won't update at all, even at home, where there are at least four or five WiFi signals in range. Again, this all started happening a few days ago... around or after the 14th of November '09.
