[gps-talkusers] strange occurrance

last week I turned on my gps while on the bus and for about three minutes it 
was giving wrong information. It was showing me being eighteen blocks south of 
where I was. It had the direction correct but the street was wrong.

Force GPS heading: this option allows you to tell the system the heading you 
will
be traveling. For example you exit a subway and always head west. The GPS will 
not
know the direction of travel until you move for a time. To change your initial 
heading
press ENTER with H on the BT and READ with H on the QT. You are then presented 
with a menu with the following options: North, Northeast,
East, Southeast, South, Southwest, West, Northwest, by degrees and unknown 
heading.
Selecting any Compass heading sets your heading temporarily to the desired 
direction.
If you wish to set the heading to a specific degree i.e. 121, select the "by 
degrees"
option. Selecting unknown forces your heading to be in an unknown state. Once 
you
move for 15 seconds or so, your temporary heading will be replaced by the real 
GPS
heading.
