Default Accuracy Still is Bad with 2.0.3 - 03-16-2008, 08:32 PM

Today we drove from Houston to Austin and about half way it showed us in downtown Austin. Off by about 120 miles. It appears that the program uses the cell tower (singular) you are connected to as your location. If the cell tower is not in the data base then you are shown someplace else. No cigar for this version.

Also noticed the program icon is no longer animated.


Always less than expected.
And now unimproved for 2008.
