Hello,

When I am at home, my android phone is able to connect to GPS but after I upload a log, the coords of my neighbors networks on the online map are totally wrong (displayed in another part of the city). Is there a fix for this?

"it depends"
alot of it comes down to how the networks were observed, by whom and when.
repeated observation will correct a network over time, but if (say) your gps is broken and it always reports
you in downtown Nutley, NJ: the networks are unlikey to relocate where you think
they should be.

if you can send more specific examples to wigle-admin at wigle.net we can take a look
and see if something unusual is afoot.
