Default GPS Issues

Has anyone else been seeing GPS inaccuracies lately? Sometimes, the GPS puts me about 40-60m off my actual location, but today it was about 10 miles off. Just started happening when I got the 715_2 update...

Happens to me only rarely (and never that far off). No more frequently than did my two Garmins which have used the same NavTeq map database. I think sometimes a satellite will be off line which reduces accuracy. 10 miles is quite a bit though.

I have the 715-2 update. I havent noticed inaccuracy issues, but what's very annoying to me is that it will not maintain the Map facing North orientation no matter what i do.
I still can't figure out if it's by design or a bug.

IIRC it will in 2D, but not 3D. Others I have used have been the same.

I suddenly started seeing nav errors of several miles on my old MB E55. Turned out to be a shorted antenna connection.

Yes, 2D allows you to enable North orientation but then after a minute of driving the map starts to rotate.
No matter what i do, I can't get it to stay North.
