Hi,
I've installed this app and it is actually updating latitude, excellent!
(that's something i could never get the other latitude apps to do).

The issue I'm having is that when i'm inside a building and GPS reception is bad my location is being reported as around 5000km (3100miles) away from where i actually am. This happens even if i set the app positioning method to satellite. (so it's not a cell site lookup error)

My real location is Auckland, NZ
lat= -36.8
lon= 174.6

But if i'm inside a building latitude gets updated to say i'm in "Kiribati" (5000km away)
Currently showing as somewhere around these coordinates.
lat = ~0
lon = ~172


The lat value being around zero looks a bit suspicious to me, as if it's updating the longitude correctly but not updating the latitude value (so google plots it as zero)

Any ideas?

(Remember, if i'm outside when it updates everything works fine and the problem doesn't happen. Its definitely got something to do with GPS reception strength)
