IIRC I've seen this from a number of GPS engines;
certainly I've got some Garmin engine logs like this.
The problem is naive software that doesn't filter
'obviously' wrong stuff from the GPS engine, including
time going backwards and stupendous position jumps.
Some nice example traces here momentarily detour
from Montana into the North Atlantic for example...

None of my collected examples were (to my best
understanding) related to jamming.

Its important not to trust too much the inputs ;-)

See ya, Dave


I can't fault software for failing to filter out bad data. Having
submitted a number of logs to OLC from a cell phone, I don't see the
type of errors described here. Maybe better gps engines are in order?
Seems like producing good data is better than filtering out bad data.
