Sometimes the Pre decides that it's just not going to show you accurate GPS information (generally after some sort of software update).
The way to fix this is to pop your battery and put it back in.
Sucks, but resets the GPS.
You can also dial ##GPS# from your phone at any time to pull up the internal GPS data.

So, I thought the opposite. My GPS *never* worked properly until 1.2.1. I just formatted and reinstalled my phone, and GPS was b0rked again. Yanked the battery, and *voila* GPS was *perfect*.
So, I think it's something to do with the hardware, and depriving it of power (as opposed to just soft restarting your phone) actually fixes the problem.
So Sam, humor me and yank your battery, lemme know if your GPS comes back fixed.

You can go into the location services and try to turn GPS on and off via the menu. this is what I do and it work about 80% of the time.
