Wow...that's great info! I just checked mine, and my Google services was also
checked. I unchecked it, and sure enough, it found my exact location!
Thanks for sharing!

Don, have you gotten your Google Maps to work? If not, some things to
try/check:
Under Locations Services:
- Be sure Auto Locate is on.
Under Location Services > Preferences > Locate Me Using:
- Be sure GPS is on.
- If you also have Use Google Services turned on, the autolocation is not
very accurate and will only find you within a 1 mile radius. Turning that
option off allowed Google Maps to find my location precisely. I discovered
this because my PrePlus autolocation was spot on, but my son's was a big
approximate radius. Comparing the two settings I realized he had "Use Google
Services" set to On, whereas mine was Off. Turning his off fixed the
problem.
