    <p>I have done a lot of mobile software with a bunch of different devices including 3G iphones and 3G blackberry's and here is what I have found.</p> <p>The blackberry and iPhone GPS is really good when you have clear line of sight and at least 9 satellites present. In some dense residential or urban areas you might only get 5-6 satellites which can take a while to converge.</p> <p>If you do not have a signal, GSM phones like the iPhone will try and find your position using cell tower signal strength but it is NOT as accurate as GPS... not by a long shot. </p> <p>I have heard, though this has not been confirmed that the iPhone also uses some server side machine learning when it can't find a GPS lock meaning that it takes the average all of the cell towers, plus the average of all the users who have used GPS in your area to try and find your best position. This is sometimes called AGPS or assisted GPS where the GPS information and cell tower strength are used together.</p> <p>Also, the only thing I can think of for finding the accuracy of the non 3G coordinates would be to programmaticly switch providers in your code, or simply go into preferences and turn off 3G and write an application that does some tests.</p> <p>The Pragmatic Programmers have a great <a href="http://pragprog.com/titles/amiphd/iphone-sdk-development" rel="nofollow noreferrer">iPhone SDK book</a> that just added a chapter on using the Location API, so that might be a great place to start.</p> <p>Hope this helps.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
