Glad you find it useful. Mine is mostly fine on country roads, but in
towns, where there are most turnings, and where driving requires the
most concentration, and so where it's most needed, - that's the very
place where it performs worst.
Mine works fine in London, it has got me very nicely around some nasty
traffic jams.
Then there was the PDA-based system (I forget which one) a friend was
very proud of and wanted to demonstrate. We drove out of the middle of
London with me navigating from a map - the gps took well over an hour
before it found a sat lock as we stopped in a car park (and then it
dropped out again within seconds once we started moving again).
It takes a while at the start of a journey for me to get a signal lock
on my Axim X5/Holux GM270 during which time it is better to remain
stationary, but once it is locked on, it normally keeps track
properly.
