Doubt it - unless towers are sitting in the ocean. That's where it often is showing my location. Right now, it says within 1700 meters, and the screen is blue. I have to press the "H" key to scroll left 20 times before the bullseye is on the beach.

Just had it compute directions to the beach - 2.0 miles is the distance off shore of this "tower".
