If you are going to test it on your person or holding it, you try changing one of the navigational settings from "vehicle" to "pedestrian". It's something about what kind of motion the GPS expects to see.
Are you getting any WAAS signals? I usually see 2 where I live.
Did you see that SFE just did an 'objective' GPS comparison test, yet the Venus wasn't tested. Convenient. The Ublox did well though.
The ublox actually didn't do so well, they said it had a 'hiccup'. When I did my test yesterday, it also had a really bad similar hiccup.

O I see, I was not 100% accurate, they tested the the 406, not the 407 (what our Ublox is). The 406 did well.

my uBlox is solid. good sat fixes in my apartment and accuracy down to 2-3 meters. Enough to have my robot drive through a crowded parking lot and not hit anything. Maybe you live in the bermuda triangle of GPS?
