These are small issues that can be fixed fairly easily.
I haven't had these problems. On mine I've seen such accurate position that it is kind of scary. Like military grade accuracy, well, almost.
Make sure you have the GPS feature turned on. I guess you would have to to go into navigation mode, but there is an option to turn it off and then I suppose it used the cell tower you are hitting off of to determine your location.

I use an app called Tracks (just for fun that) will track where you've been and speed, altitude, etc. Then you can upload the track to Google Maps and view it online.
