No, you are going to have to get in the water. There is a free app called GPSTest that you can download. It shows how many satellites are in view and you are connected to. Once in a while my location is off by a small distance and usually the sats are not in view. Other times, my location is inside my living room and it moves as I go from room to room. freaky.

The only time I am "off" in location is if I have the "Use Wireless Networks" on. Last time I tried it with both WN and GPS it located me 3 miles from where I actually was.
So after that I never have it turned on, and my GPS accuracy is 6 ft many times.
