Ann, Can you confirm what you have the tracklog interval set at. If its not set to 1 second interval then do so and take a walk around the block (after getting a good fix). Then for a small walk like this don't try to convert the GPX to a data layer, instead draw over the top to the alignment that looks right. Walking usually gives jagged traces, cycling/driving gives better results in that respect. Hope that helps a bit.
