It is the local receiver that does not track it particularly well, can be
reception problems. My TomTom GO 920T tracks it perfectly.

Be sure to use an external antenna when using the TomTom in the car, everyone
should be doing that. Much better skyview that way, which improves precission.

Mine also has a simple form of IMU...
