Maemo Mapper does not attempt to modify or optimize a GPS receiver's output. It uses exactly what your receiver tells it, and only if that answer is considered by your receiver to be "valid." Your GPS receiver might be doing some optimization or guessing on its end, but that is beyond Maemo Mapper's control.
