After reading a news article about the effect the current solar storm is expected to have on GPS accuracy, I decided to see where my cell phone's GPS thought I currently was.  Usually it is fairly accurate, but tonight it thought I was about 12 miles from my actual location.  I tried three different apps; all gave the same, wrong location.
