Hi,

I don't think it's related to the satellites. The red line is an approximation 
of the path and it's different from the log TangoGPS creates. I would guess 
that it takes one out of every few data points, so there are some straight 
lines where normally would be turns. Also, I noticed that on different zoom 
levels, the chosen points are different, and that's why it's jumping around - 
this definitely needs some polishing.
If you load the track you just recorded, it will be different than the red line.

If I remember correctly, some old versions drew every single point, but were 
slower.

Cheers,
rhn
