I just installed quattrimus-iproj-cm10.1-beta4.zip yesterday and so far, so good, but the GPS gives my current location about 3-4 blocks off from true. Anyone know why or how to fix?

Root GPS off about 3-4 blocks

Blocks? Are you in an urban area? It could be reflection of the GPS signal off the buildings. It's fairly common and GPS losses a bit of accuracy in urban areas depending on the quality of the GPS receiver and whether or not it manages to prevent it based on receipt tunes for the nmea strings.

It doesn't seem to matter where I am, the GPS signal shows my current location off by about a half mile. Only started when I flashed CM
Check out in a program like GPS test.

I'm guessing that you're using something like Google maps which will failsafe to network location if it can't get a GPS fix. That app will show you if your actually getting GPS fix which sats your taking and such.

It also has a way to clear the AGPS and update it, that might help... Pimp my ROM also has a GPS tweak.
