Sometimes, for a few minutes, a GPS receiver will be wrong, I've noticed.
I'm assuming it happens when it picks up on a satellite for which it doesn't
have ephemeris or something. It usually corrects itself after a minute or less.
Of course, a GPS built into a car is going to assume the car is on one of
the roads on the map, which can also throw things off.
