My results vary. Sometimes it seems to lock the tower, but then sometimes it seems to try to triangulate. Last night at home, it was locking on to a specific tower at times (which is quite a distance away - we're pretty rural) but then switching periodically to a location much closer (and more accurate) where there definintely is no tower. It was more inclined to lock on the tower, however. (Which I still find pretty cool - as then I have an idea of what tower I'm hitting at any given time.)

Either way, for me, this performance is more than adequate for my limited LBS needs.
