Not sure what to make of this, but before 3.1 i could sit in my house with my 3gs and get a pretty strong lock on my location in Maps. After 3.1, it gives a pretty wide range of about a half mile or so radius for my location via 3g. Did something change with the GPS sensitivity in 3.1?
Got a tip for us?

GPS sensitivity less in 3.1?

Highly doubt it. The only firmware that was supposed to modify GPS pinpointing was 3.0. The change was a +5% increase in GPS accuracy.
i didn't think so either... i wonder what the deal is... i mean we're talking pretty large variance from where it says i am vs where i actually am.
Go outside for a moment and see if it is the fact that you are inside your home that scrambles the GPS signal a bit.
