I am beginning to feel that this problem is unique to me...

I launched c:geo today after not having used ti for several days. It appeared that we were still logged in. I was having some issues getting a 3G connection, so I rebooted my phone. after that, I launched c:geo and logged in. Everything worked just fine as we found our first cache of the day.

We then drove, about 10 minutes, to a second cache. When we got there, I launched c:geo and we were logged out. I know this happened because a) the locations of the caches 'jumped' and b) a nearby cache we had found no longer showed the smiley. I again logged in, and after a minute or so, the smiley reappeared.

What happened next, however, was truly strange. We found the cache using the map view/google satellite. The location of the cache appeared to be within 5 meters of our location as shown in the map. However, the cache information page indicated that the cache was 30+ meters away. I then used a separate program to grab the current GPS location. Using a distance calculator showed that the GPS location was within 8 meters of the cache location. So, why did the info page indicate the distance was 30+ meters even though the location was properly displayed on the map?
