Answer: Yes. GPS can occasionally be inaccurate because of signal conditions, mapping errors or device problems.
Patterns are easier to investigate than isolated glitches
If the app repeatedly places the car on the wrong road or records impossible speeds, collect several examples and report them together. Do not move or dismantle a fitted device yourself unless the provider instructs you to.
GPS is accurate most of the time, not infallible
Tall buildings, tunnels, poor satellite visibility and mapping errors can occasionally create jumps or misplaced points. One odd location does not necessarily mean the entire device is faulty.
