Hi, Out of curiosity: do you have an internal or an external receiver? I have read somewhare that external GPS receivers work better. I am looking to eather confirm or negate this claim before I purchase any thing.

A lot of times, WFA reported that I was off-track when we were still cruising on the highway. It appears to me that the turns on highways are not correctly mapped. Of course, Delhi-Jaipur highway is probably more popular than Bangalore-Mysore. However, I was able to know names of most of the towns and cities on the highway. Inside cities, WFA maps are really good.
