I would *think* it is the BB as the problem in the position being accurate. I'd be interested to hear from someone comparing an external GPS to the internal 8800.

Maybe I'll see if there is a difference stinsonddog with MapQuest. Yesterday using TeleNav in NYC was a good experience for the most part. It was still acting odd though. One example, I'm heading in the correct direction when all of a sudden it recalculates my route and tells me to make a U-Turn on 42nd Street. A few seconds late and it was set back to the correct directions. I was curious why and were it though I needed to go by a U-Turn.

I"ll probably keep the service because it is always good in a pinch to have a GPS with you and it is relatively low priced. I'm really waiting on the traffic with 5.1. I think that has great potential as TeleNav can, not that it will, pick up real time traffic data from people using the service. That would be very cool.
