I am in Sydney, Australia and have experienced the same problems over the last couple of weeks (although nothing has changed in terms of configuration). Before that everything was accurate to about 5m ie. If I am passing a road, looking at destinator at the same time it would show me passing the road. Over the last two weeks it seems to be off by about 5 secs travelling at 60km. btw. this was using NMEA.

Have tried switching to SIRF last couple of days and same problem exists. It seems the update frequency has plummetted. Note that in both cases I had 5+ satellites. I am thinking of reinstalling windows from scratch to make sure nothing funky has happened (I can't see why since no changes were made to the system).
