Hey guys, can someone with an iPhone tell me if the "Find me" button is working in their maps app. Check it with wifi off, only using speakout data. Mine seems to have stopped functioning and I'm wondering if its something with my phone or if Rogers has done something to the network?

The thing is, I can not get a location at my office or my house even though I seem to be getting a strong data signal. If I go for a walk around my office, it starts working a block or so away, and continues to work until I near my building. As my phone seems to work fine in some areas, I can only put this to Rogers' $hitty network.

Adding onto an old thread since it's relevant. Is it just the "find me" button that is sometimes not successful? Is the access to the maps data itself fairly reliable (over data, not just wifi)? That could push me over the edge in the decision to bite the bullet and get an iPhone to use with Speakout, if Speakout data successfully allows maps to function (even without the location tracking). And does the GPS sometimes work, or is the "find me" always just using just the wifi triangulation (like on my old Touch)?

Thanks!

maps work perfectly for me. The find me button works, and I successfully used maps to navigate me from some back roads to my house. The blue dot moved as my vehicle moved. The maps work nice and fast too.

Maps works fine. When I made that post I was using an iPhone 2G which doesn't have GPS. It uses the addresses of local wifi spots to give an approximate location. SInce I've upgraded to 3GS, things work perfectly.
