Question How good is the navigation in TCH?

I recently purchased a TCH with navigation, but do not have experience how well it should and could perform. In particular, it seems to be sometimes off by some 20-40 meters for a while. Is it the limitation of the technology (and of physics) or could it perform better? Or is it that the maps are not precise enough or do not represent information such as the road width or similar?

Also, the detailed map on the right-hand side of the screen that appears before the turns shows the car at a slightly different location than the regular map on the left. The detailed map shows the tip of the red triangle where the car actually is, but the main map on the left usually shows the symbol little bit lagging behind by about the radius of the circle. It is weird because I assume both maps use the same position information.

Could someone who has experience with other navigation systems compare the one in TCH with other systems?

Thanks!
