Around the UK it has always bee absolutely spot on.

I also have one built into my car which is a bit awkward to enter addresses into but superb for showing me where I am.

For hand held devices for walking, the Garmin ETrex range are very good indeed.
i'd agree, my friend has now purchased the tomtom and has figured out how to use it. she's found it to be excellent. which is good because the last one she had told us we were where we wanted to be (a shooping centre in southampton) and we weren't even at the motorway junction for it! don't know what that one was butit wasn't good!
