Hello Paul,
I would be very surprised if anything changed there. So my guess is either
your original POI's location was recorded with not great GPS accuracy that
day or today you have lousy accuracy. From all the tests we have conducted,
and we have unit tests that test everything before a release that the same
distance to POIs from version to version is exactly the same given the same
position.
Now if multiple people report that all their old POIs are off then most
definitely we will look into this but my guess is that either your position
now is in error or your position previously is in error. This could also be
due to a faulty GPS receiver or one that needs recharging.
thanks

Good evening list,
Have any of you noticed as you go near a poi you've created in the past as
to how far is it off in this version?
I created a poi last year at the bottom of a set of stairs to the main door
then this afternoon noticed that my poi was between 300 and 400 feet away
and we were parked again right at the base of the stairs. I'd like to know
what others have found with poi's of their own creation.
Thank you,
Have a great day,
Paul Bolduc
