Blackberry and Google maps

I have a Blackberry Bold, and have downloaded Google Maps which works brilliantly - just like the normal one with street maps and satelite views.

However, when I select 'My location' it displays a message saying something along the lines of 'to the nearest 1200 metres' and then shows me somewhere other than where I am - obviously not much use. Anyone got any ideas why it is so inaccurate? Is there something I need to set/unset to get a useful answer?

My Garmin pinpoints me so accurately I can see myself sitting on the runway, but being shown 1200 metres away is completely useless.
