I live in Las Vegas, NV and sometimes my Google Map shows me somewhere in Russia. Although I haven't been able to figure out why it does this, the only way I've been able to solve this is to just restart my phone. Does anyone else have this problem with Google Map showing them on the complete other side of the world?

Also have the CL14 update. Prior to that, when I activated Sprint Nav (not Google) indoors, it knew that I was in NYC. After the update, it now thinks that I am in Kansas City, Mo.

Haha,
Smartphones do this to me all the time (I'm  aa tech idiot). Just go to "settings" hit "location" and set the "satellite" on (or gps, but that takes more battery) then restart.
