@Marek: There is a bug, if you use 2 GPS applications the GPS will not work for both of them. You can use one, close or leave a while in background and then run the another.
If you use a GPS application, the GPS will cache the position for another. Then, if you run OSMScout, close it and you go to a scope, the precision will be perfect.
