Default GPS locating me in the wrong city?

Hi guys,

Lately I've been having trouble with my Pre's GPS. At least I think it's the GPS. Most of the time, when I'm using the Foursquare app, or Google Maps, they're finding me in either Minneapolis or Kansas City, and today St. Louis. Which is great, but I live in Omaha. I use Foursquare all the time (try it out, I'm part of the dev team!) and this is a constant problem.

Only thing is, I don't know if this is a webOS or Sprint issue, or if it's just my Pre. Or, sadly, poor coverage where I live. Does anyone else have this problem?

I often get "placed" in Kansas City as well. Not that I dislike K.C., but I'm usually in Iowa (although the problem occurred while visiting in AZ as well). Usually it will readjust on its own. Sometimes, however, I have close the app and restart it or go to navigator and then close it to reset the gps. Not sure where the problem lies, but it is frustrating to not be able to count on the GPS to work 100%.
