I am using a Globalsat BT359 with my Pearl and it works great. Except that BB Maps is off by about 300' in my area. I have checked on TeleAtlas' site and it seems to be a problem with their data for my area. As I drive around it shows me between streets. I copied a long and lat point, plugged it into other mapping sites and it shows my location correctly, but BB Maps and Teleatlas show the same point 300' to the east, not where I was.
I have phoned my provider, Rogers, and they are contacting RIM about the problem. I also submitted a correction to TeleAtlas.
I am in Moncton, NB, Canada. Not a small town, but not a big city either. Any Eastern Canadians notice the same thing.
It seems really silly that such a large company's data would be this innacurate.
