*Hello Jerry,*

Be it iOS or Android, the GPS system responds slowly and cannot track your
speed accurately.

This is probably a cause of multiple factors: namely, the slow tracking and
interference in the signal.

On the Apple platform, for example, if I were on the street between tall
buildings in Tokyo,
I would lose the signal altogether. Yet, even if you have a good
connection, update speed, and  direction of travel may be fuzzy.

Hope this helps, and I'm sorry your newly-bought device is not performing
as you expected.

best,

Dan
