I agree as well. I've ran in to this problem as well, and didn't notice this
problem until I switch to 4.0.
Is there a way to pinpoint where the destination actually is?

Subject: [gps-talkusers] commercial Pois were on the wrong side of the
street

Hello,
I remember this topic came up several months ago but at that time this
situation had not happened to me so I don't remember the answer.
Today during my first ever GPS adventure, I was walking around my
neighborhood with a mobility instructor friend of mine.
I was told by GPS that several comercial points of interest were  ahead and
to the right. Actually they were on my left instead.
I was walking with the street on my right. Later when we reversed the route
coming back to my apartment, those same Pois were on my left and GPS read
them correctly.
If I create a route to a specific Point of interest how can I trust  the
accuracy?

I'm not talking about the accuracy of feet ahead and behind, I understand
that based upon my reading but right and left inaccuracies would be a major
problem which I would like to overcome.
John
