While using offline maps gps doesn't work properly. The position displayed is offset.

The position displayed on my offline map (Shanghai) is between three and five hundred meters away from my actual position. This makes gps navigation in unknown places impossible.

It's is a known issue for China map. The only way to get the correct position offset using GPS is to download map from Google China. All other maps do not have the correct offset.
