Wow, that's pretty horrible, must be giving you close to twice the actual distance. I think Google Maps on my phone applies some smoothing that does this a lot better, but then it can lag for a while when I'm going sharp right in an intersection.
Maybe try telling it that you're biking instead, my guess is they do more smoothing the higher speed they expect.
- jtolmar 9y agoIt's pretty much raw GPS if you're in walking or biking mode. Driving mode uses sophisticated filtering algorithms, and doesn't actually make any assumptions about your speed, though it does assume you're on a road.
