Good to hear it is working. The reason you are seeing a variation in the location is the application most likely fell back to the cell tower location in this case. At that, it is better than nothing if you don't know where you are.. but we would like to do better longterm.

In my own trips to the Toronto area, i also had frustration with no content. We have had discussions about providing Canadian data as an additional feed, as of right now it is not available. Of course from a product guy, you won't get guarantees but you can rest assured it is something we are interested in.
