Nothing like finding out "Your location within 2000m" when YOU HAVE GPS ON YOUR PHONE!!! Strangely enough, if you use Telus's Navigator software, at a modest fee of $5 per month or whatever .. it works just fine. What they don't tell you though is that Telus Navigator is one of the worst pieces of software badly written ever put out there (and trust me, I have a reasonable lay to claim what counts as badly written software).
