I use google maps and W902 (no gps) and I am always outside the radius of my estimated location.
Its not so much, but am never inside the circle of the calculated location.
Even in good signal conditions.

Any ideas why?

I'm not sure why this happens, but it has happened to me also, so your not alone.

when there's no gps you just get an approximate. even using the gps you dont get an exact point location.

wel wen ure not using gps it only tracks you via triangulation, so it really depends on the setup of the network towers in the areas you use it in...try a friends phone, it should give you the same result

Well, I'm on the 3 network in Sweden, and mine works pretty much ok.
